    About this audiobook

    Jenny Simmons has always thought of herself as the ugly duckling of her family, so when she blossoms into a swan, she’s not quite sure what to do. When amateur boxer Bryn Thompson walks into her life, it seems happiness really is possible. But then a well-kept family secret rears its ugly head, a secret that could put her very life in danger…Helen Hall, a newly-qualified doctor, may just be able to help her, but will she risk the job she loves in order to do it?
