No one said being an adult was easy. Turns out, being a Little is even harder. After almost a year of construction, the Castle looms on the cusp of its grand reopening. The only problem is, it isn't ready. Something is up with the construction crew Marshall hired to get them back to full working order. Two days before guests are due to arrive, the construction company bails leaving Marshall with a Castle that is barely functional and he is forced to do the unthinkable. He brings in outside help in the form of any contract laborer who will answer his call. Winona Mallaber has spent her entire life following her father from job site to job site. But now that he's gone, all she wants is "her spot"; a place of permanence all her own. When she receives Marshall's call, she comes running, more than ready to add his money to what she's already saved. What she doesn't anticipate is having to do the job in costume, the entire concept of a Littles' wing, or having a Master put in charge of her. Especially not one who expects her to call him Daddy once the guests start arriving and who doesn't think twice about turning her across his knee if she breaks the rules—something she can't seem to stop doing. As good as she is at her job, she's even better at making Jackson mad, developing feelings for a man that's even more temporary than her job, and the only permanent spot she seems destined to own is a spot on the bench right outside Master Marshall's office. Welcome back to the Castle! Author note: Wanting Winona is a standalone story set in the Masters of the Castle series. It can be read on its own or as part of the set.
