Zen and the Art of Red Butt Cheeks (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798297436503)

Amazon Book Blurb

Getting fired for being "too much" was bad enough. Getting trapped in an elevator with a yoga instructor who thinks she needs a spanking? That's when Sophie Chen's life gets interesting.

Sophie's anxiety runs her life with military precision-unfortunately, that precision extends to reorganizing supply closets at 3 AM and turning five-minute conversations into forty-minute brainstorming sessions. When her latest bout of enthusiastic overachievement gets her fired, she's convinced she's unemployable.

Then she meets Maya, a serene yoga instructor with dark eyes, infinite patience, and some very unconventional ideas about anxiety management. After Sophie's spectacular meltdown in an elevator, Maya suggests something no therapist ever has: "What you need is a good spanking."

Sophie should be offended. Should definitely not be intrigued. And she absolutely shouldn't agree to let Maya help her build the structured, accountable life she's always wanted but never knew how to ask for.

But when Maya offers to teach her what real boundaries look like-complete with consequences that make Sophie's bottom tingle and her anxiety finally, blissfully quiet-Sophie discovers that sometimes the most terrifying thing you can do is trust someone else to take control.

A steamy romantic comedy about learning to ask for what you need, even when what you need is someone patient enough to spank you into serenity.

Perfect for readers who love:

Anxiety rep that's funny rather than tragic
Disciplinary romance with heart and humor
Heroines who are disasters but loveable ones
Workplace comedy and yoga studio steam
HEA with a side of personal growth (and red cheeks)
