    Stranger still, the room is decorated as though it were meant for a small child but the bed is adult-sized. Her curiosity turns to shock when she discovers that not only is the nursery attached to a large stately home, but a man named Edward lives in the house and has apparently been expecting her. To make matters worse, when Kathryn demands an explanation of the situation, Edward merely pulls her over his lap, bares her bottom, and spanks her soundly. Lord Edward, the Earl of Kendrick, and Doctor Phillip Gates live together at Ferngrove Manor as both close companions and lovers. While they find deep happiness in their relationship, both men desire a woman to share and enjoy together, and thus they elected to contact Miss Pritchard’s Training School for Little Ladies in America to ask that a woman be sent to them. Though Edward and Phillip find the circumstances of Kathryn’s arrival odd, from the moment they meet her they are completely smitten by her beauty and her obvious need for discipline. She seems confused about some of the details of her contract with them, probably as a result of falling ill during her journey from America, but both men are confident in Phillip’s abilities as a doctor. It may require more than one thorough, intimate examination and a variety of treatments which Kathryn will no doubt find quite humiliating, but she’ll be healthy in no time. As she learns to be a good girl for Edward and Phillip—with the help of a bare-bottom spanking whenever she misbehaves—Kathryn finds that their firm discipline and loving care soothe a part of her that she’s kept hidden away her entire life. But is she truly prepared to leave behind her life in the twenty-first century and become their little girl?
