Lady Amelia Blackwell embarks upon her first London season where she is presented to the Queen and the rest of proper society. Everyone, including Amelia herself, expects that she will find a husband amongst the new, eligible gentlemen that she meets during the whirl of social activities. Lord Morgan Barrington has known Amelia her entire life. No longer the high spirited little girl whom he had to rescue from various scrapes, Amelia is now the beautiful, enchanting woman he has waited for her to become. Will Amelia be willing to give up her freedom for the strict rules and expectations of Lord Barrington? Will he be able to convince her that true freedom comes from submission?

Lady Amelia Blackwell has been raised since birth to become a proper wife for a proper gentleman. However, years of lessons in comportment, etiquette, and household management do not encompass all of her wifely duties. Now that Amelia has married her Lord Morgan Barrington, she learns what being a wife is truly all about...and it has very little to do with being able to plan a dinner for two dozen. Morgan is a tender teacher and strict disciplinarian. With skill and patience, he awakens passions in Amelia which she never knew existed. She also learns that submission can be pleasurable, and painful when necessary. Can Amelia find the perfect balance that proves minding her husband is good, but a measure of naughtiness also has its benefits?
