Connie is working as a nursing assistant when she falls for the handsome intern John Bentley. In between the heavy demands of hospital work, the two get on well, but their relationship changes when Connie makes a serious medication error... and lets John takes the blame. Later (and much to her initial surprise), Connie shows how remorseful she is by going over Dr Bentley's lap for a spanking. It gives her a sore bottom but it clears the air... and paves the way for their relationship to flourish. Ignoring the advice of her room mate to show interest in any wealthy young doctor with real prospects, Connie prefers to stick with John, an only son expected to become a doctor in his father's small hospital in a poor Appalachian county. Courtship and marriage quickly follow, as do a few bare bottom spankings, and the couple move to Bentleyville to begin their new life together. Connie wishes to advance her career, but what she wants more than anything is to learn how to be a good doctor's wife. As time goes by, she finds that she has to be a disciplined wife in order to become a good doctor's wife, but with John's firm but fair demeanour and his particular brand of loving discipline, she has no regrets whatsoever.
