Synopsis

Madeline Deveridge is aware of the whispers behind her back, the rumors that she dispatched her husband to the next world and concealed her crime. But she has a far more pressing problem than her reputation as the Wicked Widow. It’s impossible to believe that her late husband is haunting her and her aunt, but something odd is happening, and Madeline doesn’t dare take chances.

Summoning the brilliant, reclusive Artemas Hunt, secret owner of London’s favorite pleasure pavilions and master of arcane talents, she blackmails him into providing help. As soon as the bargain is struck, Artemas and Madeline find their arrangement complicated by searing desire, and the frightening recognition that the ghost poses a very real danger. Now they must plunge into a world of intrigue and ancient mysteries, where a calculating killer—and a tantalizing passion—will not be denied.

"If you start an Amanda Quick book in the late afternoon, you’ll probably spend the night with it."—The Denver Post

Madeline Deveridge is quite aware of the epithet with which Society has marked her. They call her 'Wicked Widow' after her husband's death a year ago; convinced that Madeline shot her husband, and then set her house on fire to cover the crime.
