Lady Midnight She had a secret life—and a secret longing… Everyone that Katerina held dear has perished in a tempest off the coast of Italy. With not a penny to her name, the once-moneyed Venetian lady knows she must travel far to forge a new life. No one would ever accept her if they learned that her mother was Lucrezia Bruni, the infamous courtesan grooming young Katerina to fill her shoes someday... Still mourning his late wife, Michael Lindley knows life must go on—and that his little sister and daughter need a woman’s nurturing. When a dark-eyed beauty alights on his doorstep, claiming to be a widowed governess, Michael feels a fire rekindle in him that he thought had been snuffed out long ago. And in Katerina, who thought her capacity to love had gone down with the ship, there flares a yearning that only Lindley can subdue. But just as Michael and Katerina give in to the desire that knows no words, a stealthy enemy plots his revenge. And the newborn passion that brought them together will be tested as his vicious plan threatens to tear them apart…
