Alice is recently married and coming to terms with accepting her husband, Emery, as Head of Household. Having promised to love, honour and obey him, she has very quickly slipped up by ignoring his request for her to spend less at the coffee shop every week - and now she must face the consequences. New to corporal punishment, Alice reluctantly submits to Emery's discipline, but she knows he loves her and that when the punishment is over, she is forgiven. This is the unfolding story of Alice and Emery's relationship, showing how Emery's brand of firm but loving discipline helps guide and influence his new wife. Alice can be moody, scatterbrained, disorganised and lazy at times, and though she is initially resentful of Emery's spankings, she gets used to them and acknowledges they are necessary to help improve her behaviour and motivate her to try harder across many aspects of her life. She may often have a sore bottom, but she has no regrets marrying Emery.
