Synopsis

A MASKED MAN . . .

Winter Makepeace lives a double life. By day he's the stoic headmaster of a home for foundling children. But the night brings out a darker side of Winter. As the moon rises, so does the Ghost of St. Giles-protector, judge, fugitive. When the Ghost, beaten and wounded, is rescued by a beautiful aristocrat, Winter has no idea that his two worlds are about to collide.

A DANGEROUS WOMAN . . .

Lady Isabel Beckinhall enjoys nothing more than a challenge. Yet when she's asked to tutor the Home's dour manager in the ways of society-flirtation, double-entendres, and scandalous liaisons-Isabel can't help wondering why his eyes seem so familiar-and his lips so tempting.

A PASSION NEITHER COULD DENY

During the day Isabel and Winter engage in a battle of wills. At night their passions are revealed . . . But when little girls start disappearing from St. Giles, Winter must avenge them. For that he might have to sacrifice everything-the Home, Isabel . . . and his life.

Every one of my reviewer friends are all a-twitter after Winter Makepeace, the hero in this book. He is a swashbuckling man who dons the mask of a simple school teacher by day.

Reread for 2021 Favorites. . . This was fucking perfection and I cannot hear anything else. Freaking Virgin Batman with a dominant side. He is patience, stern and sexy as hell. I am stunned. TW: infertility......more

*** 4.69 *** A buddy read with the Romance Readers at the MacHalos:):):) Yes, we do exist! I would have liked to write a brilliant review about this book, since it made me all romantic and put me in a loving and worm mood, but I just don't have it in me today....

Goodreads review by Princess under cover on June 18, 2018

This is definitely my fav installment in the Maiden Lane series. I have a thing for self-denying males who only give themselves to the woman they love. Quite unbelievable, this is true, but that's why we read romance! To fantasize about the ideal man rather than live with the mundane reality. And my......more
