Rendezvous With A Romance

I think that next to Charming Mickey and Silence's story, this is my favorite.  I loved watching the Duke of Wakefield squirm and lose his precious control and order.  He is a formidable man and Artemis is the perfect woman to help him lose that control.  She is strong, she has to be to earn his notice, and she is determined.  I couldn't believe she actually tried to blackmail him!  That was fun to watch them spar together. In order to save her brother, she must blackmail the Ghost of St. Giles, and what do you know, the Duke is the third member of that team. He doesn't take too kindly to this lady's companion speaking her mind and standing up to him and trying to blackmail him into saving her "lunatic" brother.  But he can also not believe how alluring her strength and sense of freedom, even within her confining circumstances, is and when he finds her wandering his forests early in the morning barefoot, he knows that this woman is both dangerous to his plans and to his well ordered life, and to his heart (though being the man that he is, he doesn't see it that way at first) :-P I enjoyed their adventure and the ending was quite romantic; his proposal was down right perfect!
