Lady Jennifer Arden and Ben Ellis know that a match between them is out of the question.
Except sometimes, love can find a way..
A duke\'s sister certainly cannot marry the bastard son of an earl.
Jennifer is shocked--and intrigued--by Ben\'s ideas, and both families are alarmed by the growing friendship and perhaps more that they sense developing between the two.
Though he was raised with the earl\'s family, he knows he does not really belong in the world of the ton.
He is the bastard son of the late Earl of Stratton.
But he must be careful.
He wants to help her discover independence and motion--driving a carriage, swimming, even walking a different way.
It is often said of him that he never saw a practical problem he did not have to solve.
He is a fixer.
When Ben Ellis comes across Lady Jennifer as she struggles to walk with the aid of primitive crutches, he instantly understands her yearning.
But she secretly dreams of marriage and children, and of walking--and dancing.
She is blessed with a large, loving, and protective family.
Outgoing and cheerful, she has many friends and enjoys the pleasures of high society--even if she cannot dance at balls or stroll in Hyde Park.
Left unable to walk by a childhood illness, Lady Jennifer, sister of the Duke of Wilby, has grown up to make a happy place for herself in society.
Discover a new heartwarming Story from New York Times bestselling author and beloved queen of Regency romance Mary Balogh.
Yet their hearts yearn for the impossible.
