Jenny is the typical rich-kid, sorority girl. Getting good grades isn't high on her priority list. In fact, that sits well below getting into the secret faction of her sorority. To do that she must pull off a daring bit of mischief. Cal Bennet is the town sheriff. He's a relatively young, no-nonsense kind of guy - with a heart of gold. He is the moral center of this small town in North Carolina. But when his and Jenny's paths cross unexpectedly, things get complicated and he questions his morals and his heart. His plan to save Jenny from herself by enforcing strict discipline seems like a sound one. To both of them. At first. He enacts a touch of martial law and Jenny agrees to learn more than English Lit. Cooking, cleaning, and laundry are but a few of her new subjects. Along with time-management, telling the truth, and doing homework. Breaking any one in this new set of rules will result in a sound spanking. It all sounds simple enough when she signs on the dotted line of the contract between her and the sheriff. But life is messy, and she is faced with one tough decision after another. She's a college student! Shouldn't life be easier than this? Less complicated? Jenny finds herself being pulled in two directions: her moral, upstanding sheriff leads her down one path, and a cute frat boy leads her down another. In one direction lies maturity, and a future. In the other, the simplicity of being a rich kid in college where Mommy and Daddy pay for everything. Now she must choose: Will she continue to let her parents pay for it all, or will she learn to pay the price for her own actions?
