Lena Lewis is the most sought after young lady in several counties. Her beauty and her father's fortune make her a very appealing marriage prospect, but she hasn't been able to attract the one man she really wants, Ian McKenzie. While she doesn't love Ian, she definitely wants him, and she's determined to have him as her husband. Ian McKenzie has secretly lusted after Lena since they were teenagers, but he doesn't want a spoiled and bratty woman as his wife.

When her foolish behavior lands her in a heap of trouble, he proposes marriage to salvage her reputation, but his help comes at a price. As her husband, he will not tolerate her bratty behavior, and she soon learns he means business when he punishes her appropriately. It doesn't take long for Lena to realize that she wants more from her marriage. By dominating her body, Ian has captured her heart.
