Enlisting the aid of Inspector Basil Stokes of the fledgling Scotland Yard, they infiltrate the streets of London’s notorious East End. And as he’s in dire need of an excuse to avoid said insipid misses, he accepts her challenge, never dreaming she and it will consume his every waking hour. Her bold beauty and undeniable brains make a striking contrast to the usual insipid ton misses. Barnaby is intrigued-both by her story, and her. Although he makes her irritatingly uncomfortable, Penelope throws caution to the wind and appears on his bachelor doorstep late one night, determined to recruit him to her cause. His powers of deduction and observation combined with his pedigree has seen him solve several serious crimes within the ton. Handsome scion of a noble house, Adair has made a name for himself in political and judicial circles. Desperate, Penelope turns to the one man she knows who might help her – Barnaby Adair. But now her charges are mysteriously disappearing. Yet Penelope is anything but a typical ton miss – forceful, willful and blunt to a fault, she has for years devoted her considerable energy and intelligence to directing an institution caring for the forgotten orphans of London’s streets. Penelope Ashford, Portia Cynster’s younger sister, has grown up with every advantage – wealth, position, and beauty. Book Name: Where the Heart Leads (Casebook of Barnaby Adair, #1)
