"A "good girl" is mistaken for a dominatrix. Uh-oh!"

Daughter of a minister, Anita Roemer has been a good girl her entire life. She yearns to let loose, but keeps her desires reined in. As a favor to her dominatrix friend, she travels to a remote fishing cabin to cancel an appointment. When no one answers, Anita is fuming. And then a torrent of rain comes falling down. The door is unlocked, so she ducks inside to get out of the rain. Suffering from lack of sleep caused by chronic insomnia, Anita lies down on the bed, just for a minute...

Architect Zane Matthews isn't a happy camper when he returns soaking wet to the cabin after a fruitless fishing expedition. The fool woman his friends hired to dominate him is snoring away on his bed, after she cleaned up the messy cabin. A mess he had deliberately made to feel more like home. She has to go now. Too bad other body parts aren't listening to his brain. Her innocent looks are an unexpected twist. Maybe he can get her to agree to a little sexual escapade -- as long as she doesn't plan on beating his ass.

When Anita wakes up, she discovers that Zane thinks she's a dominatrix. A wild impulse leads her to claim to be "Naughty Mistress Nita". But she really doesn't want to dominate. Zane weaves a seductive spell over her, causing her to agree to him playing dominant to her. Anita always has had these secret desires that she has ruthlessly suppressed. With Zane, there is no tomorrow, just here and now. And no one will have to know of her lapse.

Zane has his doubts from the first that Nita really is a dominatrix. She seems too innocent and blushes too freely for someone who should have seen it all. It's that very air of enchanting naïveté that draws him to her. Will Anita be able to confess the truth? Or will their stolen weekend be all that this couple can have? Zane finds himself regaining his faith in relationships through his experiences with Nita.

The heroine of NAUGHTY MISTRESS NITA is a real dichotomy. Her adherence to her strict upbringing seems to be contradictory to her sensual desires. Just which woman is she? Anita, the repressed? Or Nita, the sexually free? Maybe both? Anita learns to enjoy the pleasures of the body with Zane. Readers who insist on the hero and heroine to be happily married, riding off into the sunset, may be disappointed in the conclusion. Fittingly enough, Ms. Copeland doesn't force an artificially perfect happy ending. Rather, this couple has just begun the courtship dance. Give this tale of sensual awakening a look-see if you're a fan of this kind of story.
