Heart and Home by Melinda Barron

The MacAllister brothers love life in Mac’s Crossing. As sons of the town’s founders they’ve grown up there, have watched the town expand, and they now hold positions of authority: banker, sheriff, newspaper editor, town storekeeper, and cattle rancher.

The one thing these frontier men don’t have is women to love. But then, one by one, they find the loves of their lives: women who can stand up to what society expects of them and give the brothers a run for their money, as well. Little do the ladies know but the MacAllister brothers all have the same idea of how to deal with the women they love – with a trip over their knee when their behavior warrants it.
