The year is 1954, and Nurse Josephine Harris is a woman with a past she seeks to forget. Determined to make a new start and get her life back on track, she travels from New Jersey to San Jose, California to look for work. Finding a job isn't easy, but she learns of a doctor in urgent need of a nurse for his private practice. At 42 years of age, Dr Jesse Benjamin is a man who doesn't like change. Although he doubts Jo will stay longer than six months, he offers her the job. Jo settles down in her new role and she and Dr Benjamin gradually get to know one another. Sparks fly initially, and Jo's temper outburst results in a spanking from her new employer. It is the first of many, but unlike Jo's abusive first husband, Jesse's brand of discipline is intended to help her see the error of her ways, and later, as their relationship blossoms into romance, they enjoy erotic spankings. Things don't always go smoothly, often resulting in the opinionated Jo getting a sore bottom and a lecture on her behaviour. Trouble looms when Jo's past comes back to haunt her... will it jeopardize her relationship with Jesse...?
