BLURB:
How can two people who love each other as much as Jessica and Adam do find themselves in a bitter rut? An incident at work begins to change Jessica's views towards discipline. Is it possible that being held accountable can build up a person? Jessica is intrigued that she might have found the solution she's been searching for.
When looking for guidance about delivering a reasonable paddling she stumbles across a professional dominatrix and a chatroom of opinionated spankophiles. Can Ms. Margaret’s advice lead to a scorched bottom and a sweeter romance?
How will Adam balance his new found authority in his marriage with his role as a prosecutor of men who assault their wives? Together, their journey of discovery leads to a more profound commitment, and lovemaking that leaves Jessica breathless.

me it hurts;

on this?"
She
swallowed, he was asking her to take a part in her own discipline. To control
herself while
he gave her the discipline she needed so desperately. She nodded, suddenly filled
with gratitude.
He
stroked her hair. "Good. That's good, because you are getting a very sore

tonight."
She felt the fear lift. They were back. Her relief ebbed...
