As Rich As a Rogue (2016)
“Unfortunately, given the amount of lust Miss Powel inspired, Peter would be unlikely to find a time when he was not achingly ready to plant himself between her thighs. Which meant there was no point in delaying his discussion with her father. If only he could find the damned man.
Mr. Powel did not frequent the usual gathering places of gentlemen. He’d certainly been seen at White’s, Brooks’s, Watier’s, and Boodle’s, but usually as a guest and without any predictability. There was a coffeeho...use near the docks that he sometimes enjoyed, and every gentleman wandered through a gaming hell or three at some point. But in general, no one could predict when or where the man would appear, except to say that he had an office on Cowper’s Row.
An office like a solicitor or a banker, very bourgeois. So it was that Peter tromped up the steps into Mr. Powel’s London office and found himself struck dumb.
He had been in many offices in his life.MoreLess
