Damn, Maeve really did win

That could also describe Murphy.. While she isn't described as pretty, she is described as "cute." She may not be as young as Justine, but she wasn't exactly old either. She hung out with a wizard who can at times be called a predator, plus he is the Winter Knight.. She was also tough as nails something Mab could appreciate.

It's apparently what Maeve thought. Could the mantle cross the circle?

Probably not. But there's two things to consider regarding the possible hosts.
* Justine knew Molly was there in the circle. If she was infected, then Nemesis likely knew. If Maeve was infected, then Nemesis could have told her in her head. So she might have meant Murphy, or she might have meant Molly.
* There were nine Sidhe in each retinue, not counting Red and Rawhead. That's at least nine candidates of Summer Sidhe that should have been compatible if they were female, and possibly some from Winter in a pinch. The question is, were they all male by design, or were there any females? If so, were they potential hosts as well?

Potential hosts maybe, but acceptable to Mab? Or Titania for that matter, considering the disaster the last two Ladies were.. Consider Molly, as effective as she has been as Lady, Mab orders Harry to kill her if she became Queen.

I'm not sure what you mean about Mab ordering Harry to kill her? But what Mab or Titania wants doesn't really have a bearing. Titania didn't "want" Lily, but she was the closest vessel compatible to the summer lady mantle when it was vulnerable so it went into her.
Likewise, if Molly hadn't been there, but one of the nine winter Sidhe present to help Maeve had been female, it seems likely that they would have been candidates over Justine or Murphy.
Since the mantle didn't go to any of them, we can speculate that they weren't female or weren't compatible for other reasons. Or the mantle felt like Molly, despite being only human with wizard blood, was a better fit.
