Vincent Humphrey has never been entirely comfortable. His family loves him, but he's very aware that the rest of the world only tolerates his slow, stuttered speech. When a baby girl appears on his doorstep one evening, his carefully constructed life begins to fray at the edges, and he vows to uncover her true identity and return his life to normal. To make matters worse, the ever-charming Thomas Thorne has ingratiated himself into the Humphrey family, leaving Vincent almost permanently off-kilter. And the most unsettling thought of all: perhaps he won't want either to leave. This is the 2nd book of the Humphrey Chronicles. It will make much more sense if you read Husband Wanted first!
