Meeting at Midnight

by Flora Kidd

But without his love she had nothing at all

It had been old Hunter Finley's dearest wish that Elizabeth marry his stepson, Dugald Morin. After meeting and falling in love with Dugald, that wish was Elizabeth's, too.

But their marriage had gone sour, and Elizabeth hadn't seen Dugald for more than two years--until he returned to Scotland for the reading of Hunter's will.

And even after death, Hunter's wish prevailed. Married, Elizabeth and Dugald jointly inherited his vast estate; separated, they got nothing. Nothing except the pain of a broken heart for a foolish romantic like Elizabeth....

Reviews

[StMargarets · Rating 3 out of 5]

Old school second chance story, meaning the hero never lifts a finger to reassure the hero or even hint at his feelings and the heroine runs around ineffectually trying to get his attention to understand her pain. There's also two OW(one his half sister lol) and one OM with a pervy father who comes on to the heroine. Lol

The story winds to a close when the author exhausts all the ways to keep these two from having a conversation.

For vintage lovers only.

[Debby · Rating 3 out of 5]

They are married. She keeps pushing him away, although she ‘loves’ him.

As the book begins, they have lived separately because she wanted that and he fulfilled her wish to stay away for two years.

She keeps bickering and doing everything that she knows will annoy him with the OM.

So many times she stabs a knife in his back by choosing the OM over him. It’s a wonder the guy can still stand up straight. She doesn’t deserve him.
