Description
The young and beautiful Lady Linnett Wainwright refuses to submit to anyone, doing as she pleases at all times, whether it's riding her horse across the English countryside or throwing tantrums at Lavenstock Hall, her home. Her father indulges her in all things except when it comes to the man who will marry his precious, spoiled girl. For this, Sir Thomas chooses his business partner, John Foster, who arrives in England from America to be met with the haughty disapproval of a woman he nevertheless falls for passionately. Foster becomes determined to throw Linnett over his knee to teach her the discipline she's never had and show her that he is her master. He believes she will need that discipline and protection if she is to survive a dangerous voyage with him across an ocean filled with pirates to the unknown wilds of the Colonies. Linnett on the other hand, thinks she has her whole life planned out, chasing after a childhood sweetheart even as the handsome John Foster lights a fire in her heart - and on her backside.
