Book description
When society widow, Lady Isabel Beckinhall, becomes involved with the
Home for Unfortunate Infants and Foundling Children, she soon clashes
with its manager, Winter Makepeace, whom she finds severely monastic,
terribly solemn . . . and quite distractingly intriguing. And Winter
does have a secret: at night he transforms into the masked avenger,
the Ghost of St Giles.
After the infamous Ghost of St Giles is wounded while rescuing a
notorious pirate from the gallows, Isabel has no choice but to hide
him from a ravenous mob, though doesn't discover his identity. Winter
is haunted by this glimpse of the tender - and sensuous - side of Lady
Beckinhall, though he knows that they are too far apart socially to
ever be together. But when a relentless dragoon captain begins hunting
the Ghost of St Giles, Winter must decide if he can trust his secret,
his life - and his heart - to Isabel's hands.
Hoyt's fourth Maiden Lane Georgian-era romance is an expert blend of
scintillating romance and mystery...and the romance between the
beautiful and quick-witted Isabel and the masked champion of the
downtrodden propels this novel to the top of its genre Publishers Weekly
