In the first of a brand-new series set in Victorian England,
a young woman returns home from India after the death of her
family to discover her identity and inheritance are
challenged by the man who holds her future in his hands.
Rebecca Ravenshaw, daughter of missionaries, spent most of
her life in India. Following the death of her family in the
Indian Mutiny, Rebecca returns to claim her family estate in
Hampshire, England. Upon her return, people are surprised to
see her...and highly suspicious. Less than a year earlier,
an imposter had arrived with an Indian servant and assumed
not only Rebecca's name, but her home and incomes.
That pretender died within months of her arrival; the
servant fled to London as the young woman was hastily buried
at midnight. The locals believe that perhaps she, Rebecca,
is the real imposter. Her home and her father's investments
reverted to a distant relative, the darkly charming Captain
Luke Whitfield, who quickly took over. Against her best
intentions, Rebecca begins to fall in love with Luke, but
she is forced to question his motives—does he love her or
does he just want Headbourne House? If Luke is simply after
the property, as everyone suspects, will she suffer a
similar fate as the first “Rebecca”?
A captivating Gothic love story set against a backdrop of
intrigue and danger, Mist of Midnight will leave you
breathless.
