The Rancher’s Girl by Dina Chapel

When ranch foreman Cal Monroe first meets the young woman newly hired to work on the ranch, he knows immediately that she is something special. He also senses that she is troubled by whatever circumstances brought her to work here on the ranch in the first place. He vows to give her time and space to adapt to her new responsibilities.
But Cal has a dominant streak a mile wide and an equally fierce desire to protect the woman who has almost instantly stolen his heart. The first time she puts herself in danger, Cal doesn’t hesitate to warn her of exactly what her misbehavior will bring—a sound spanking over his knee.

Rose Weatherby is also instantly drawn to the handsome cowboy, but she keeps her distance. He is strong and sexy, but he’s also bossy and infuriating, promising to discipline her for breaking rules that she isn’t even aware of. When Rose unwittingly risks her personal safety on ranch property, Cal steps in, ensuring her well-being, but also giving her a spanking she won’t soon forget.
Can Cal curb his dominant nature enough to keep Rose from running in the opposite direction? And can Rose let down her guard just enough to let Cal into her world—and into her heart?
