They have nothing in common. Except how much they want each other…

Long winters, hard work, and gorgeous scenery. Joy Bennett is prepared for anything and everything when she moves from her comfortable home in the city to the middle of nowhere Maine.

Everything except Raymond Reddington. A real, honest-to-goodness mountain man.

She wasn’t prepared for his gruff voice or his short temper. Or for the way her heart beats faster and her core tightens with need whenever he’s around.

And she certainly wasn’t prepared to enjoy going over his knee so he could redden her bottom the second she steps out of line.

Nothing about falling for Ray is what she expected to find in her new hometown. But it just might be exactly what they both need.

That is, if she can convince her stubborn mountain man she’s not going anywhere, and that their love is worth risking the heart he’s tried so hard to keep hidden from the rest of the world.
