After Marie
McConnell is abandoned by her family, she fears she’ll be unable to support both
herself and the two orphan boys who have recently come into her care. When she
finds work as a nanny at the home of rancher Frank Carter, a widower with an
infant daughter of his own, she can hardly believe her good fortune.

To ensure that
they are provided for, Marie passes off the orphans as her own children, but when
her deception is discovered she learns the hard way that Frank will not
tolerate dishonesty. After assuring her that the boys will remain welcome in
his home, he puts Marie over his knee, bares her bottom, and spanks her to
tears.

As the weeks pass
and Marie throws herself wholeheartedly into caring for his daughter and the
boys, Frank soon realizes that she is not only one of the prettiest women he’s
ever met but also one of the kindest. Before long, he asks her to be his wife,
and to his delight she accepts. But when a shameful secret from Marie’s past
comes to light and threatens to tear them apart, can Frank prove to his new bride
that she is his forever?
