The Pemberton Series
Miss Harriet Fernside has no need of a husband and isn’t looking for one. Her father has left her an independently wealthy young lady with the freedom to pursue her own purpose in life. Much to her mother’s chagrin, she has taken up with the Quaker and prison reformer Elizabeth Fry and is actively involved in ameliorating the lives of women and children being held at Newgate Prison.
Officer Evan Sharp, on the other hand, is a Bow Street runner tasked with filling the aforementioned prison. Known as The Bull of Bow Street, he is both a formidable detective and an unapologetic rake.
When Officer Sharp interviews Miss Fernside after she is the victim of a highway robbery, her antagonistic demeanour provokes him in more ways than one. Miss Fernside, for her part, finds herself both irritated and rather heated in his presence. It isn’t long before they both find that acting on your desires is one thing but handing over your heart is quite another.
