Zoe's parents are divorced and her father is a multi-millionaire who buys his pretty eighteen-year-old daughter anything she wants, but is too busy with work to spend much time with her. Consequently, Zoe is an indulged brat who has always been used to getting her own way. Expelled from boarding school, she accompanies her father on a business trip to Idaho, where her life begins to change drastically. Left to her own devices, she steals a pair of diamond earrings from a department store owned by her father's friend, Mike Newborn... who has a very strict policy on dealing with shoplifters. In order to avoid a jail sentence, Zoe reluctantly agrees to participate in the store's rehabilitation programme for first time offenders, which involves her working there as an intern as well as being subjected to daily corporal punishment.

Zoe has never been spanked in her life, and when she is paddled, she finds the experience humiliating and painful, and also sexually arousing. In Mike, she has met a stern but fair family man who teaches her things her own father never did, and although she has many luxury homes in cities throughout the world, she has never had a proper home. Perhaps she may decide to remain in Idaho, especially since she has the hots for Steve the farm boy and the prospect of regular maintenance spankings to help regulate her behaviour...
