Honor and Obey. Hopewell Series, #1

She ran from structure. Now it's the only thing keeping her together. Eight years ago, Eden Marks escaped her small-town life, her father's rigid rules, and the suffocating expectations of being the preacher's daughter. She vowed never to return-not to Hopewell, not to the church, and certainly not to Ryan Montgomery, the boy who once threatened to put her over his knee and then disappeared without a word. But when a late-night accident lands her in the ER, Eden comes face to face with the man who walked away. Except Ryan isn't a boy anymore-he's a doctor, steady as stone, and every bit as commanding as she remembers. He offers her structure.
Stability. A chance to stop spiraling. But Eden doesn't take well to rules. Not until she finds out what happens when she breaks them.
