My hometown is hiding secrets, and I'm not leaving until I uncover every single one. Starting with why the love of my life ghosted me just as we were about to begin our lives together.

Whatever the reason, I'm determined not to let Bas Pierson have even one more piece of the heart he shattered all those years ago. Until he puts me over his knee, and my sore, red bottom reminds me why I fell so hard for him back then.

Despite my promises to myself, it's all too easy to slip back into our roles, with me as the naughty little girl and him as the stern, unyielding Daddy.

But I have secrets of my own, secrets that could destroy the love Bas and I have—for good. And the more time we spend together, the more certain I am it's only a matter of time before he learns them all.

Because some secrets are too big to stay buried.
