Last book, Winter Makepeace retired as the Ghost, leaving Godric and one other.

These days, they are after lassie snatchers, men who kidnap poor children and work them in factories.

Giles, men who dress up in a mask and crusade around at night keeping the streets safe. The house is falling apart, as Godric has not cared for much since his wife died. So she packs up Sarah, Aunt Elvina (who is hard of hearing and has a pug named Her Grace which adds much amusement to the story) and servants and surprises Godric at his house near St. But now after two years, she wants a baby of her own. After miscarrying her lover’s baby, she came to love the country and became close with Godric’s sister, Sarah. The day they wed, Megs went to live in the country and has stayed put. If you follow this series, you know that Megs and Godric have been married for two years, but it is a marriage only on paper. And to top things off – Megs believes the Ghost killed her lover, and she has vowed to kill him! How could the thought of the book not excite me? It’s full of angst, action and sexy times (even an angry sex scene – who can resist that?) Godric, who was blackmailed into marrying Lady Margaret Reading (who got pregnant, then her lover died) because her brother knew Godric was the Ghost of St. Godric, who had vowed to never love again. What was I thinking? This is the Godric, who watched his beloved wife die from a devastating illness for nine years. I really enjoy this series, but for some reason I wasn’t anticipating this book very much. 'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title.Lord of Darkness by Elizabeth Hoyt (Maiden Lane #5) But what to do now that she realizes her husband is the same man she has sworn to kill? The fifth installment in Hoyt’s impeccably written, Georgian-set Maiden Lane series delivers plenty of swashbuckling thrills and wry wit, while the exquisitely crafted chemistry between Megs and Godric is pure passion. After their wedding, nearly two years ago, Megs and Godric have lived separate lives, but now Megs is determined to seduce her husband into giving her the one thing she desperately wants: a baby. Of course, Megs had another reason for coming to London. Two years earlier, the Ghost of Saint Giles killed Roger Fraser-Burnsby, and Megs vowed she would one day exact revenge on the man who murdered the love of her life.

To her credit, Megs has no idea she is shooting at her husband she is really trying to put a hole in the Ghost of Saint Giles. John in London’s most dangerous neighborhood. John’s mind when he unexpectedly encounters an armed and very cranky Margaret “Megs” St. That is the first thought that crosses Godric St.
