***Received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads.***I loved everything about this book! In a nutshell, this is about a couple forced into a marriage of convenience. Both are still reeling from the deaths of their true loves and are afraid to let go of the past. Godric is strong, patient and sexy and I loved seeing his flaws come out and be played out and strengthened with the help of Megs. Megs is full of life and happiness and is determined to have a child with her husband, no matter the cost. The love scenes are passion filled and you could really see how they helped this couple find the love that they thought they would never have again. This is a passionate, lovely, emotional romance! Lady Margaret St. John has two reasons for returning to London. She has vowed to kill the Ghost of St. Giles, the mysterious adventurer who murdered her lover. She will do anything to avenge his death. Megs has also returned because she wants a baby, and knows for that to happen she will need the help of her husband, Godric St. John, the man she hasn't seen since their wedding day. Godric is shocked when his wife shows up unexpectedly. His marriage of convenience to Megs starts to get complicated when she tells him she wants a baby. Godric had vowed celibacy after the death of his first wife. But the more he is around Megs, the more he begins to rethink his vow. There is nothing to stand in the way of happiness except for the fact that he is the Ghost of St. Giles.This is the fifth book in the Maiden Lane series. The Ghost is once again saving young girls from the Lassie Snatchers. Right on his heels are the Dragoons led by Captain James Trevillion. As soon as he outwits the men trying to bring him in, he is facing a gun that is held by his wife. This is an entertaining book with very likable characters. I'm looking forward to the next installment in the series. My rating: 4 Stars.
