No one knows that he's the owner of the Dream Pavilions, London's favorite pleasure gardens, or that he's a master of an arcane society. So she dares summon the only person with the power to help her uncover the truth-Artemis Hunt.īrilliant, relentless, reclusive, Artemis has made it his business to keep much of his private life hidden. Of course it is impossible, but Madeline cannot take chances.

She fears that she and her beloved aunt are being haunted! And all the evidence points to one improbable culprit: the ghost of her late husband. But Madeline has a far more pressing problem than being called the Wicked Widow. Madeline Deveridge is all too aware of the whispers behind her back, the rumors that she dispatched her husband to the next world and concealed her crime. Now the mistress of Regency-period romantic suspense brings us a notorious widow and a man of mystery as they flirt with danger, fight temptation, and fall into the snare of desire and intrigue.

Scandal is afoot and seduction is in the air in this, Amanda Quick's sixteenth and most deliciously entertaining novel.
