Not a bad story.  Penelope is a widow with a secret.  She and a couple of her friends have enough money to do as they please and call themselves the Liberated Ladies.When her maid goes missing, she calls in Mr Howe to locate the girl.  Pierce Howe is actually Lord Howell, but he hides his background because of a family scandal.The pair butt heads of course, but the physical attraction is there.  The search for the missing maid leads to some unsavory situations, a brothel and a gentlemen's houseparty, where anything and everything can be seen.  The couple fear the maid has been trapped into prostitution.Pierce discovers Penelope`s secret, and eventually she discovers his.  There is the usual misunderstandings between the two, and there is a kidnapping -- but a bit of a twist to it.Given the secret Penelope was hiding, she sure didn't seem to be ignorant of sexual pleasures.  I did find that didn't ring true to the character.  There are several sexual encounters in the story, so if that offends the reader might want to pass on this one.
