When Father Charles Hervey presides over the wedding of a BDSM couple in the unique "spanking church" of St. Gabriel's in Middlefield, Vermont, he has no idea that a friend of the bride's family, Laura Standish, will turn out to be exactly the submissive woman he has been looking for all his life. Father Charles sees no conflict between being a dominant and being an Anglican priest, but when Laura begs him to deliver her penance-spanking personally, things get out of hand, and they find themselves at the beginning of a torrid D/s DD love affair.

But will feelings from Laura's past get in the way of her happiness at being taken-in-hand? Can she accept her own desire to be taken as Father Charles' wife?
