More than a Man — Carolyn Faulkner

JD Hamilton didn't like women. Or maybe he liked them a little too much. Either way, because of what the government had done to him, he had resigned himself to living the life of a monk on his ranch in Texas. But his brother had other ideas that involved a cleaner house, and, more importantly, hot, edible meals. Enter Jessica Bates: spoiled youngest daughter, dreamer extraordinaire, wannabe writer who packed up and drove to Texas, wanting to explore the "real" cowboy life. Hired and almost summarily fired the very next day, despite the miracles she worked cooking and cleaning for the brothers, she manages to gently worm her way into JD's hardened heart - earning spankings from the big, formidable man along the way.
