Enthused by her quest, Ellen sets out to find Andrew and soon hires the trustworthy Edward (Ted) Kent to assist her. Although Ted admires many of Ellen's capable qualities and becomes increasingly captivated by the pretty 18-year-old, he also finds her difficult and opinionated and the two of them soon clash. A battle of wills ensues, and Ellen earns herself a well deserved spanking from Ted when she ignores his advice and puts herself at risk. As their relationship develops, more bare bottomed spankings ensue, and Ellen becomes increasingly attracted to this dominant man who disciplines and cares for her. They share many exciting adventures and Ellen gets to demonstrate how capable she is handling a gun. But when Ted proposes marriage, she wavers ... for being married would mean giving up what she fiercely clings to - her independence.
Set in America towards the end of the 19th century, this 'clean' romance focuses on the domestic discipline relationship between the spirited Ellen and the man in her life, Ted Kent.

After settling her grandfather's affairs and organizing the business dealings, Ellen takes off to find her older brother Andrew, who ran away from home as a teenager. Her search leads her to a western town, where she hires Edward Kent to help in the search.
Edward recognizes soon that they are both from wealthy backgrounds. Like her brother, he has hidden his past well and made a living by his skills in the west. Ellen is used to being in charge, which comes at odds with Edward's desire to protect her in the west.
