Publisher Description
Wealthy Cynster connection Penelope Ashford has devoted herself not to making a perfect society match, but to rescuing young orphans from London's streets. But when her charges start disappearing, she turns to attractive Barnaby Adair for help. A deadly avenger in an elegant guise, Barnaby has solved crimes before, and can go where few others in society can.
Barnaby finds Penelope's combination of beauty and brains irresistible. Together, they work to unravel the mystery of the missing children, uncovering a trail that leads them to the upper echelons of society. Soon, they face an enemy all too ready to destroy all they hold dear, including their newfound understanding of love . . . and the intrigues of the human heart.

"I think the premise of adding some mystery to Laurens books is great. Good book but not one that you can't stand to put down. While, I might read others in this series, it is not one of those series that you have to immediately pick up the next book in the series "
— Elaine (4 out of 5 stars)

" I didn't love the story, it felt drawn out. I did, however, like the characters. "
— Maggie, 11/13/2009 -
" Abridged book on cd. Either they skip something important or I had a seizure while driving. For a book with a mystery in it, I think the abridgment ought to be of the sex scenes not the mystery. Not so here. "
— Jeanne, 10/24/2009 -
" This was a good start to a new series! It had it all, mystery, sex and a great, likeable, intelligent couple. It was refreshing to read a love story that did not follow the same routine of boy meets girl, neither thinks the other loves them, etc. "
— Sherry, 10/12/2009 -
" I enjoyed this book. It had just the right amount of eveything. Suspense, suprise, romance and a nice dose of history. I would read more of the Barnaby Adair series. "
— Colleen, 7/13/2009 -
" This was an awesome historical romance novel. "
