Midnight Lord

the long version

MYSTERIOUS STRANGER Musket in hand, Megan Drake chokes back fear as a stranger stumbles out of the wilderness, wolves howling at his heels. Burning with fever, he collapses at her feet in the moonlight, and she cannot deny him refuge...even though he bears the scars of a tortured past. MERCIFUL ANGEL Kidnapped from an English dock and robbed of his identity, Stephen Wingate, Lord Arlington, has been sold as an indentured servant in the colonies. His escape has brought him to the brink of death...and into the arms of an angel. As Megan nurses him, he is captivated by her simple loveliness and hungry for her gentle touch. But Megan, mesmerized by- the passion in his blue eves, still fears he is not the man he claims to be. And the dangers of unspoken secrets threaten to tear them apart, crushing the hope of eternal love promised in the rapture of their midnight kiss.
