Well, listeners, it finally happened to us! Kelsey accidentally recorded with the wrong mic, so while our audio isn't quite the quality you're used to, the content still is! James Trevellion has been Lady Phoebe Batten's bodyguard for almost a year. While his presence seemed just another way for her brother to limit her freedom, she reconsiders his usefulness after he thwarts a kidnapping attempt. While she admits she needs him to keep her safe, she cannot help but feel more interested in him as a man than a guard. James has admired Phoebe from the start but never dreamed she would return his feelings.
