Lady Midnight
Amanda McCabe
She had a secret life—and a secret longing…
A courtesan in trainingEveryone 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... A governess in hidingStill 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. A woman in danger—and in love…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…
