Tired of London's endless rounds of balls and parties, Lady Emeline Spenser vows to find a meaningful purpose in her life. She fulfills this desire by studying massage techniques in order to provide relief to people who suffer from joint pain.
Since the freak accident that broke his foot, Damon Ashby, Earl of Manderly, has been living like a recluse at his home in the country. The knowledge that he could be forced to walk with a cane for the rest of his life, and the constant pain, force him to seek a possible cure in London.
Thwarted in his search for relief, Damon turns to Emeline in desperation. Can Damon and Emeline accept the differences in each other or are they meant to part as friends never knowing what could have been?
