A Chair Without Brakes

By: Jerrimiah Stonecastle

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

They met in the most unlikely of ways: a screech of wheels, a yelp of pain, and a furious woman in a motorized wheelchair who didn’t bother to say sorry.

Raymond Stanwick has it all—looks, success, and a future anyone would envy. But when Stella Walker, all sharp edges and defiant glares, accidentally runs over his foot, she runs over his old life, too. Instead of anger, Raymond is captivated. He doesn’t see the chair; he sees *her*: the stunning, wounded, fiercely independent woman inside it.

What do you do when you’ve been literally stopped in your tracks by love? If you’re Raymond, you wait. For weeks, he finds her at the hot dog stand, greeting her with a teasing grin and a joke about his aching foot. Slowly, their small talk becomes something more—a spark that shocks them both.

To the world, it makes no sense. Donna Long, who’s been plotting her way into Raymond’s life, is furious. Stella’s protective family is suspicious, convinced a man like Raymond must have ulterior motives. Even Stella struggles to believe that his interest is real, that his teasing is genuine flirtation, and that his steadfast patience is love.

But sometimes the most extraordinary love stories begin with a bump—or a run-over foot. *A Chair Without Brakes* is a poignant, witty, and deeply moving romance that challenges every assumption and proves that love, in its truest form, doesn’t look for perfection—it looks for the person who makes your world stop, then start again, brighter than before.

A love story for the ages, about seeing the person, not the obstacle, and daring to reach for a happiness no one else understands.
