After Midnight
Description
Product description
Alix had forgotten her tumultous history by focusing on a d ream of training championship racehorses. When her twin sister blindsides her with a ridiculous ultimatum to trade places, the cost of refusal is too high to ignore. Forced to London in Lily's place, Alix must assume the role of Lord Nicholas Griffon's wife, but quickly learns that he is not the dupe that Lily portrayed. Caught in the tedious strain of posing as her sister, lost memories of the tragedy that had split Alix's life begin to emerge, compelling her uncle back to France and the shattered lives they had fled, to search for answers. S et in 1830's England and France, this is the first book of a historical romance trilogy.
Review
“If you are a devotee of Jane Austen, the Bronte Sisters, and gothic romance novels, you will love After Midnight. Pick up the book and, like a great gothic read, you won't want to put it down till you get to end! It is filled with suspense, mystery, a wonderful confusion of love and lovers, and all written in an elegant style that shines with the language of the times. Enjoy!” —Ismana Carney, PhD and author of Women's Ways With Fire
