Midnight Clear

Laurel Valley #3

by Liliana Hart

Christmas is about family. But for Hank O'Hara, it's bittersweet. His brothers, who weren't even looking for love, have found their soul mates and have started making their own families. Hank has always had dreams of settling down with the right woman, but she's nowhere to be found. Until Eloise Drake comes home to Laurel Valley.

When Eloise left town after her eighteenth birthday, she left with a scandal attached to her name and couldn't wait to escape. The call to come home to Laurel Valley and make peace with her past can't be ignored. And with Hank O'Hara clouding her thoughts and dreams, peace is hard to find. But Eloise finds that true peace is in the forgiveness she's withheld all these years, and in the love of a family she's always wanted.

About the author

Liliana Hart spent five years teaching music in the public education system. She molded America’s youth, busted kids for smoking pot in the restrooms, and broke up illicit affairs behind the stage on a regular basis. (Liliana’s Addison Holmes Mystery Series, about a small town teacher who gets into a whole lot of trouble, is somewhat autobiographical, but she won’t confess to which parts).

Liliana began reading romance novels with all her new found free time, and when she ran out of things to read, she decided to write her own novels. The result was a 150,000 word thriller—a dazzling adventure—where the heroine was a thirty-year-old virgin assassin (Yes, you read that right). She couldn’t imagine why people weren’t knocking down her door to read it, but she persevered and began writing a second book. She finally got the hang of things, and eventually learned that losing one’s virginity wasn’t all that romantic after all. All of her books involve some kind of suspense (she just can't help herself), laughter, and a lot of steamy sex.

Since the failure of her first attempt, Liliana’s books have won awards such as: The Daphne Du Maurier, The Suzannah, The Linda Howard Award of Excellence, The Maggie, and many others. Her affiliations include Romance Writers of America and Mystery Writers of America.

Liliana loves to cook, and is addicted to reading, Internet Boggle, kickboxing, and Bones. She lives in a big, rambling house in Texas with a couple of cats to keep her company. She loves to get emails from readers.

Enjoy the Adventures!

Laurel Valley

Beautiful! I have just completed this series and it was so good. It made me wonder if there was still a town like this anywhere now. I hope there is. We need more like it.

I loved this series. I loved family life and that love was there from the very beginning. I would love another series like this one. You go Liliana.

Nice clean romance. Enjoyed the book very much. Liked Sophia and Hank. LH has a way of character building even with a short book.
