Set in London, England, 1788. Lady Penelope Wherlockes Hutton-Moore will inherit the house someday. Until then her step siblings live in luxury, while Penelope's bedroom is in the attic. Lady Clarissa Hutton-Moore wants to be a viscountess. Her brother, Charles, is practically buying her the title with Ashton, Viscount of Radmoor. Ashton needs money to keep his family out of debtor's prison. Lord Charles holds the markers of Ashton's late father. Clarissa's large dowry would see the markers gone and his family secure. Ashton believed the marriage with Clarissa would be tolerable, but then Ashton's friends took him to Mrs. Cratchitt's. Ashton did not know his "surprise", Penelope, was at Mrs. Cratchitt's against her will until he found himself surrounded by young boys and a gun to his head.
Ashton and his friends quickly learn just how vile Clarissa and Charles are. However, it does not change the fact that Ashton must wed Clarissa. Soon after, Penelope is shot. Ashton, his friends, and even his family band around Penelope and the horde of boys she takes care of. (The boys are the by-blows of Penelope's relatives. They reside at one of Penelope's bungalows, unknown by the Hutton-Moores.) It is said that the Wherlockes and Vaughns (Penelope's family lines) are considered eccentric, a little wild, and very reclusive. Turns out this is by necessity. Many Wherlockes and Vaughns are gifted with various abilities. Penelope's gift is to see spirits and she tries to help them move on.
The attraction between Penelope and Ashton grows into something much more. As Ashton tries to find a way out from under the thumbs of Clarissa and Charles, his friends and high society family members look out for Penelope and the (close to) dozen children she raises. And with the help of those children's special talents, perhaps things may actually work out.
***** FIVE STARS! OMG! An outstanding story that starts out with danger and only gets better from there. I found myself hooked by the end of the very first sentence. No kidding! Hannah Howell's magical talents are for creating villains that her readers love to hate, and in developing characters that readers cannot help but come to care for. I can hardly wait for the next Regency adventure! *****

Both this second book in the Wherlocke/Vaughan series and the first are entertaining however, neither are without very basic research faults, which to be honest, as Howell has written a long medieval Scottish series, I was rather suprised about.
For instance, in the first book, one of the characters, himself titled, insists on addressing another peer as Lord Sir whatsyourname. Only peers, i.e. Barons and above were addressed as Lord..... Knights and Baronettes were Sirs. It was possible for a peer to have a lesser title of Baronette as well. However, he would be addressed by his higher title, not both. The same peer then goes onto ask the other peer, whether his entailed property would pass to his daughter. As an English/Welsh peer, he would have know that the laws of entail would not allow that to happen.
in this second book, Howell carries on getting mixed up with the titles. She refers to Clarrisa, who is the daughter and sister of a Baron, as "Lady Clarissa". Only the children of those peers with much higher titles were given such courtesy titles. Clarrisa would have been Miss....
Minor faults perhaps, but an author with Ms Howell's standing should get such things right.
