Tending to her younger sisters and unruly brother hasn’t been easy for Amelia Hathaway but when an unexpected “cursed” inheritance falls upon her brother, she finds the challenges to be even more demanding. With the help of Merripen, a gypsy who came to the family as a boy, Amelia must keep her family safe at all costs, even if it means they must remove themselves to the country. But first she must find her brother who has gone missing, again.
The mysterious and devilishly handsome half-gypsy, Cam Rohan, first introduced to readers in Devil In Winter, knows Amelia will be nothing but trouble from the first moment he lays eyes on her. Helping her find her brother isn’t an easy feat when his attention is transfixed on delectable Amelia. Together they succeed but when time comes to part ways Cam’s attraction takes over and he steals a kiss.
Removing to the country, Amelia must focus on her family’s needs and abolish Cam from her thoughts, more to the point, the passion filled kiss they shared. But during a walk to the local village Amelia is nearly struck down by a rocketry experiment only to be saved by the man she had tried so hard to stop thinking about. Unable to withdraw from an invitation to dine at Lord Westcliff’s estate, Cam insists on escorting Amelia home, much to her displeasure.
Cam is powerless against his growing attraction toward Amelia and finds himself sharing intimate details of his past that he had never saw fit to reveal before now. Incapable of understanding the strange sensations within, Cam thinks it to be a calling to return to the Roman way. However, when Amelia’s first love, Christopher Frost, wishes to restart his involvement with Amelia, Cam is forced to battle his inner feelings.
When desire overcomes them and forces their lives in a new direction, Cam and Amelia must face their personal demons before they can face each other.
Mine Till Midnight wages the battle of inner demons, cursed family and most importantly, finding a love that only requires you to be true to yourself.
Lisa Kleypas has written a story so rich in passion and mystical presence there is no denying it could only be about the shadowy half-gypsy, Cam. Prepare to be swept away when you begin this book!
