What do you do when the sheriff's department invades your rehabilitation hospital, intent on closing it down? If you're Dr. Maggie Zimmerman and her crew of stalwarts, you prevail, despite the odds. You overcome by being the warriors whose strength is not to fight, even though the sheriff-and Letty Earl, too, eventually-feel their battle wounds most keenly. In this epic conclusion to his first serial novel, Devlin O'Neill presents the harrowing finale to that dramatic event, described in the previous volume, before following the individuals and couples whom readers have come to know through the last three episodes of the adventure. Once the dust has settled, Aaron and Valerie, Brant and Inge, Maggie and Stewart-even Bob and Letty Earl-still have stories to tell. And, since O'Neill is doing the telling, you can be sure that there will be heat-not only in bottoms therapeutically scorched, but in hearts and hands and lips, as couples explore their erotic and disciplinary needs with one another. Publisher's Advisory-This work is written for a mature reading audience. It contains depictions of consensual corporal punishment, as well as descriptions of erotic behaviors. Further, the author and publisher do not condone hitting children, whether by parents, school officials, or anyone else, although such common practices are mentioned in this text as matters of fact. If you do not want to read such subject matter, do not open the book.
