She just popped out from nowhere so it took me a while to like her.Įve went through something horrible as a child which has left her wary of men.

I say better because before I started reading I did not like Asa very much and there wasn’t much about Eve in the earlier books either. The book opens with a very funny argument, and through a series of misfortunes and a number of steamy scenes the couple finally gets closer and better. But unfortunately for him, Eve Dinwoody, the plain illegitimate sister of the Duke of Napier holds the purse strings. This, the ninth book of the ever interesting Maiden Lane series brings together Asa Makepeace and Eve Dinwoody in a most unexpected coupling! It’s actually the third book to join my favourites of the series after Scandalous Desires and The Duke of Midnight.Īsa Makepeace, the crude and broad shouldered owner of Harte’s Folly, a pleasure garden, is in dire need of funds in order to get his garden in working conditions again.
