Instead of entering the courtroom, she's summoned into the judge's chambers. There she meets Maxwell Tohler who offers her placement in an experimental reform program designed to give young women a second chance to achieve their greatest goals and live their dreams. She'd be assigned a 'guardian' who'd provide for her every need and lavish her with the care she's always desired. The downside is the requirement to follow the guardian's rules or risk some unpleasant time across his knee. Her first inclination to Max's proposal is to run, except she's drawn to his handsome face, strong body, and the 'thing' in his voice that makes her feel small, vulnerable, and safe. Not only does he stir a heart that yearns love and acceptance, but her body as well. So, when Max rejects her request to be her guardian, she's crushed.

Facing the most difficult decision of her life, Lonnie turns to an unexpected resource for advice. Should she chose one of the men for herself or save the brothers' relationship by walking away with a broken heart?
