Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released. Find out more here.
I've thoroughly enjoyed this series with it's creative inclusion of penny stories within the main story (find my reviews for The Lady and the Highwayman, The Gentleman and the Thief, The Merchant and the Rogue). I've read book four and need to post my review. I honestly can't wait to see how everything get resolved in this last book! It's my pick this week...

Summary
Romance and mystery come full circle in the fifth and final book of Sarah M. Eden’s best-selling Victorian Proper Romance series.
London, 1866
MóirÃn Donnelly has spent the last five years working in the shadows for the Dread Penny Society, but spending so much of her life in secret is taking a toll on her soul―and her heart.
When members of the Dread Penny Society begin disappearing, MóirÃn turns to Detective Constable Fitzgerald Parkington for help. The two have developed a friendly rapport, and MóirÃn feels like she can trust him, though perhaps not with all of her secrets.
Fitzgerald Parkington has a sixth sense when it comes to hunting down criminals, which is why he’s recently been transferred to the Detective Department at Scotland Yard. But when red tape keeps him from tracking down the criminal mastermind known as “The Tempest,” he must rely on the one woman who has unexpectedly captured his heart―the bold and fiery Irish lass, MóirÃn Donnelly.
As the Tempest’s deadly reach threatens to overwhelm all of London, MóirÃn and Fitz are caught in an elaborate game of cat and mouse that leads down back alleys, through dark London buildings, and right to the gates of Kensington Palace. MóirÃn has one chance to save Fitz and the Dread Penny Society from the Tempest, and she might have to sacrifice her one chance at love to do so.
