Harper Calloway lives for the moment someone tells her no, because it proves they are paying attention. New city, new job, same bad habit: mouthing off, pushing limits, then daring the world to keep her. Ethan Kincaid is the kind of man who keeps a calm voice when everything gets loud. When he sees Harper’s grin turns into a challenge, Ethan offers her something she has never been brave enough to ask for: domestic discipline, negotiated, private, and scorching. Soon the brat is begging for the next lesson, and the man setting the rules is one mistake away from falling just as hard.
