Disciplined By Shane — Jenna L. Spring

Since childhood, Zoe Marino had a crush on her big brother Vinny's best friend, Shane. Her strong feelings haven't dissipated, although she's all grown up now. After Vinny's tragic death, Shane gives Zoe the support and protection she needs in the form of a painful disciplinary spanking, but he thinks of her as nothing but a kid. Now that his Army stint is over, Zoe hopes to win over Shane's heart, even if it means going back over his knees.

Shane O'Brien likes to take care of everyone and everything around him. His protective streak led him to enlist in the Army years ago. Now, at thirty-four, he's exhausted and wants to make a home for himself back in the Boston area where he grew up. Before his buddy's untimely death, Vin charged Shane with protecting his little sister Zoe, but Shane has come to think of the beauty as more than the squirt he calls her. Vin would be horrified at Shane's attraction, though. Intelligent and sweet, Zoe deserves nothing but the best. Will Shane betray his closest friend, or will he let the best thing that's happened to him slip away?
