Publisher's Synopsis
Lady Jennifer Arden and Ben Ellis know that a match between them is out of the question. Yet their hearts yearn for the impossible. Discover a new heartwarming story from New York Times bestselling author and beloved 'queen of Regency romance' Mary Balogh.
A match between them is out of the question . . .
Left unable to walk by a childhood illness, Lady Jennifer, sister of the Duke of Wilby, has made a happy place for herself in society - even if she cannot dance at balls or stroll in Hyde Park. She is blessed with a loving, protective family, but secretly dreams of marriage, children, walking - and dancing.
When Ben Ellis comes across Lady Jennifer as she struggles to walk with the aid of primitive crutches, he understands her yearning. He never saw a practical problem he did not have to solve, and he wants to help her discover her independence. But as the illegitimate son of the late Earl of Stratton he must be careful, for although 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. A duke's sister certainly cannot marry the illegitimate son of an earl. Except sometimes, love can find a way.
