About this eBook

Mr. Barrett Sterne has one thing on his mind.  He must find Lord Tensford’s fossil specimen—the one that was stolen right out from under his nose—and his cracked skull.  It is a matter of honor.  It is vital to preserving the regard of his close-knit circle of friends.  Why, then, must he keep pushing away thoughts of Miss Munroe, the girl who distracted him from his duty that fateful night?

Miss Penelope Munroe has many things on her mind—her scientific interests, the help she’s providing her village friends, and the fact that her parents are pushing her toward marriage.  Her father wants her to marry a peer, her mother keeps thrusting her at her scientist friends, but she cannot help but wonder if that spark between her and Mr. Sterne was real?

She has a chance to find out when she becomes embroiled in the search for the missing fossil.  Sparks are indeed flying and passions swirl, but Sterne’s demons have their claws buried deep in his heart.  He is continually drawn to her, but feels honor bound to stay away.  Penelope’s love and determination are fierce, but can she free him enough to trust in the permanence of love?

Ratings and reviews

When Mr. Barrett Sterne gets knocked out on the head while guarding his friend Lord Tensford's fossil specimen, he is determined to find the stolen item. Sterne may have been a bit distracted since he was just talking with Miss Penelope Munroe. Sterne may be too busy with his studies to find a wife but he will not let one of his best friends down, even if he can't seem to forget about Penelope. Penelope thinks she may have finally found the perfect man to marry.....Sterne! They both share the same love for the sciences so now she just needs to convince him. Penelope gets the idea to insert herself into the task of finding the missing fossil so she can spend more time with Sterne. The more time Penelope and Sterne spend together, the more obvious that their match is perfect but because of things from Sterne's past, it will take a lot for him to realize this. As the mystery behind the missing fossil comes to an exciting conclusion, Sterne finally realizes that Penelope is the perfect wife for him! Overall, I enjoyed this story. I really enjoyed how Penelope and Sterne were not just people of the ton, but both involved in science. It was fun learning little tidbits about things that I didn't know. I did enjoy the mystery and its final conclusion.
