His security lead, Seraphina Hale, has one lure a relentless stalker into the open without giving her a clean angle. She thrives on control—decoy routes, staged sightings, a thousand tiny choices that keep a client breathing.

Playing the Part: Midnight Edition is everything you could want in a romantic suspense, danger, chemistry, tension, and two unforgettable characters who light up every page. Celestine Quinn delivers a perfectly balanced blend of heat and heart while never letting the suspense drop for a second.
Seraphina Hale is a phenomenal lead, sharp, disciplined, and commanding in every scene. Watching her navigate the delicate lines between protection, strategy, and emotions feels both realistic and deeply compelling. Marco Vierra, on the other hand, is charming and quietly intuitive, making him the perfect counterpart. The way he respects her rules, follows her lead, and truly sees her adds so much depth to their connection.

Playing the Part: Midnight Edition hooked me from page one and never let go. The blend of slow-burn heat with a dangerous, fast-moving stalker plot is absolutely addictive. Seraphina is a fierce, brilliant bodyguard who commands every scene, and Marco brings a warm, steady presence that complements her perfectly.
Their connection builds in subtle moments, hand signals, shared silences, instinctive trust, and it feels incredibly genuine. The suspense is sharp and unpredictable, especially when the stalker closes in and the stakes suddenly turn deadly. Celestine Quinn delivers a story packed with tension, passion, and heart. I loved every second.

This book delivers everything: high tension, high heat, and high emotional payoff. Seraphina Hale is one of the most compelling bodyguard heroines I’ve read, tough, disciplined, and quietly vulnerable. Marco Vierra brings charm, patience, and depth, creating a dynamic that sparks with every interaction.
The stalker storyline is executed brilliantly, weaving together decoys, danger, and psychological suspense in a way that keeps you guessing. The Midnight Edition amps up the intimacy without losing the thoughtful pacing and character driven moments that make the romance so believable.
