The last thing Jay needs on his first day in his new home is kids climbing over his fence and swimming in his backyard pool unsupervised and without his knowledge or permission. The incident serves as a less than optimal introduction to his next-door neighbor Alex, a beautiful young woman to whom Jay is immediately attracted in spite of, or perhaps because of, her defiant attitude.

Alex has been on her own with two children since her husband passed away three years ago, and although she would never admit it, she desperately needs a man in her life before things spiral any further out of control. In spite of the circumstances of their first meeting, Alex accepts Jay's invitation to dinner.

When she learns of Jay's career as an author of spanking romance novels, however, she is forced to consider the possibility that she herself might need a firm hand applied to her bare bottom far more often than she might like. Will she be able to accept the discipline required to get her life back on track, and if she does, will Jay be able to be the man she needs for herself and her kids?

Publisher's Note: My House, My Rules is an erotic romance novel that contains both graphic sexual scenes and spankings, including domestic discipline in a contemporary setting. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.
