Publisher Description
With over 25 million books in print, best-selling author Amanda Quick is a favorite of readers who relish historical romances. In her works, including Mistress, Mischief, and Affair, Amanda Quick offers delicious romantic thrillers set in the opulent world of Regency-era London. The widow Madeline Deveridge is both admired and feared by Society. Devastatingly beautiful, she is rumored to have killed her wealthy husband. Artemis Hunt is a handsome gentleman who is also a master of secret arts. His concentration on his own affairs is shattered, however, when Madeline demands his help one fog-shrouded night. Brought together by a mutual bargain-and a ghost-their bond sparks an attraction that will be far more dangerous than either suspects. Noted for her spirited performances of Amanda Quick's novels, narrator Barbara Rosenblat captures each nuance of the two heroes' intelligence and passion.

"This is historical, romantic suspense. Has good suspense, good characterization, good read. He and she are both strong characters, and that makes for a few arguments, of course. Always good - you don't want things to go smoothly!"
— Norma (4 out of 5 stars)

" Not very good and the Vanga stuff especially was excruciating. I kept thinking "who cares?" There are a couple of very good scenes and descriptions but overall it was highly disappointing. "
— Michael, 2/18/2014 -
" Meskipun ga ada hubungannya dg karakter di seri sebelumnya tapi sama-sama terhubung dg Vanzagaria. Apa itu Vanzagaria? Itu sebuah aliran filosofis, hm, mungkin mirip ideologis gitu. Anyway, saya suka gaya bercerita Amanda Quick yg seru dan lucu serta penuh aksi ini. "

" Yes, the plot is identical to 99% of her other books under the Amanda Quick pseudonym, but the enjoyment comes from the accessories she hangs on the basic plot. This book passed a pleasant afternoon. "

" Continuation of the Vanza society stories. Good read. "
— penelopewanders, 12/18/2012 -
" This was just okay for me. There were so many storylines going along that at times I was confused. Along with the storylines, there were a ton of characters that jumped in and out of the story. Overall the story was good and I had a smile on my face when I closed the back cover. "
— Kristine, 10/30/2012 -
" She made up a place again. "
— Catrina, 7/12/2012 -
" Ok this one was kinda corny and what it is with these Vanza men that every one of the male leads has "Jumped the gun" in all the the first sex scenes written in these books. Ok enough ranting. Other than those two things the story was pretty good. "
