Midnight Angel is the story of Tasia who, though of royal birth, must escape execution from tzarist Russia.Spirited away to distant kin in England, she desperately seeks a remote refuge to protect loved ones who risk their lives to save her. She finds herself in the lowly position of governess to the "tween" daughter of Lord Stokehurst- Luke: long-widowed and VERY clueless as to raising a rebellious chit on the brink of womanhood who's driving him NUTS! He's soon lusting after the mysterious woman whose attitude and regal bearing deny her lowly status, yet is doing wonders for his troubled daughter they both hold dear. Luke's smitten, but she's in total denial, fearing for ALL their safety, knowing that she cannot prove her innocence in the murder of the hated man she was to wed.
Kleypas as always explores well-researched & unique settings rich in history, using complex (and sensuous!) characters who deny deep emotional fulfillment until it enflames them (yum ;~D ) With retribution closing in, how will Luke & Tasia find a way to free her from guilt & fear and the passion they can't deny?
