And what lady would want a gentleman husband who plays with the police and enjoys putting himself in danger? But they are decidedly attracted to each other. No proper gentleman would ever allow Penelope to work at the Foundling House in her current capacity, which includes frequent visits to the East End. It is a fine enough institution for some people, but would only inhibit their freedom and their ability to do what they love most. Adair, who is well-known throughout the ton as a successful chaser of villains.īoth Barnaby and Penelope have decided that they will never marry. Taking matters into her own hands, she seeks the help of Mr. When a fourth boy turns up missing as well, Penelope does a little sleuthing of her own and discovers that the same man appears to be making off with her boys. However, some of the boys who should have been picked up by the Foundling House were collected by someone else. Their practice is to visit the homes of applicants and ensure everything is ready for when the time comes that a child becomes orphaned and needs a placement. Penelope is the current administrator of the Foundling House, an organization that takes in orphans and finds them a place in the world. But he gladly dismisses the manner of her entrance in favor of jumping on a new project. The reputation she has for flaunting society’s restrictions is obviously earned, as she is without escort in a bachelor’s home late in the evening. He has met her once before and can clearly recall the sensation of shaking hands with the willful woman. While Barnaby ponders his current state of ennui late one night, in walks Penelope Ashford with a new challenge for him. He thoroughly enjoys his work with the police force, but his latest case, which occupied much of his time, has just concluded and left him with little to do. Well, now I know why I probably didn’t finish that first book…and I no longer have a desire to finish another! But hey, at least I got that check mark.īarnaby Adair has been feeling incomplete as of late. I vaguely recall starting one, but never finishing, so when I got the chance to review Where the Heart Leads, I jumped on it, feeling grateful that I would finally be able to check her name off my list of authors I need to read.

Stephanie Laurens is a rather prolific author, so I have felt weird about never having read any of her books.
