Lady Jennifer Arden and Ben Ellis know that a match between them is out of the question. Yet their hearts yearn for the impossible.

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. Outgoing and cheerful, she has many friends and enjoys the pleasures of the Season—even if she cannot dance at balls or stroll in Hyde Park. She is blessed with a large, loving, and protective family. But she secretly dreams of marriage and children, and of walking—and dancing.

When Ben Ellis comes across Lady Jennifer as she struggles to walk with the aid of primitive crutches, he instantly understands her yearning. He is a fixer. It is often said of him that he never saw a practical problem he did not have to solve. He wants to help her discover independence and motion—driving a carriage, swimming, even walking a different way. But he must be careful. He is the bastard son of the late Earl of Stratton. Though he was raised with the earl’s family, he knows he does not really belong in the world of the ton. 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.

A duke’s sister certainly cannot marry the bastard son of an earl. Except sometimes love can find a way.

“Narrator Rosalyn Landor breathes life into the romance between Ben Ellis and Lady Jennifer Arden in England circa 1800. … Ben and Jennifer encounter each other at a family house party. Landor successfully navigates multiple characters, allowing the listener to easily follow along. She is especially good at voicing Ben’s young daughter, Joy, giving her just the right touch of childlike exuberance. Jennifer and Ben long for each other but fear society’s disapproval of Ben’s background, and Landor exudes all of their angst. Listeners will enjoy Landor’s lyrical performance.”—AudoFile
