About this ebook

WHEN A MASKED MAN . . .

Twenty years ago Maximus Batten witnessed the brutal murders of his parents. Now the autocratic Duke of Wakefield, he spends his days ruling Parliament. But by night, disguised as the Ghost of St. Giles, he prowls the grim alleys of St. Giles, ever on the hunt for the murderer. One night he finds a fiery woman who meets him toe-to-toe-and won't back down . . .

MEETS HIS MATCH . . .

Artemis Greaves toils as a lady's companion, but hiding beneath the plain brown serge of her dress is the heart of a huntress. When the Ghost of St. Giles rescues her from footpads, she recognizes a kindred spirit-and is intrigued. She's even more intrigued when she realizes who exactly the notorious Ghost is by day . . .

DESIRE IGNITES A DANGEROUS PASSION

Artemis makes a bold move: she demands that Maximus use his influence to free her imprisoned brother-or she will expose him as the Ghost. But blackmailing a powerful duke isn't without risks. Now that she has the tiger by the tail, can she withstand his ire-or the temptation of his embrace?

Ratings and reviews

I LOVE this book it is one of my favorite books of ALL TIME!💯 BUY THIS BOOK, YOU WONT REGRET IT! Elizabeth Hoyt became my fav author after reading her "Three Princes" trilogy and I bought all of the books in this "Maiden Lane" series. I liked every one of them but there is something about Artemis that I absolutely adore. It's probably the fact that she goes after her man. Not just to make him help her beloved brother but also for her own desires. The love story between Maximus and Artemis is fraught and doomed. He is set to marry her very own cousin and they are from differing classes😟, but that doesn't stop her from pursuing a liaison between them anyway. I loved the story the whole way through and have read the book over and over again. Elizabeth Hoyt continues to be an amazing author of wonderful romances and I will continue to be a devoted fan! 💖📚

Artemis is everything a woman should be. Hard working, brave and above else, loyal. I loved her story and hopefully Apollo gets his happy ending as well.

Two words- loved it
