From the author of Miss Aurora, Midnight, Evelyn! tells the story of an unlikely couple with a brilliant idea. But the heart doesn't usually obey reason willingly.
Evelyn Casey must marry. Otherwise, she risks losing everything she loves most in the world: the lands where she grew up, the home she fought for, and, most importantly, guardianship of her half-sister, Violet. This chaos is the fault of three men: her stepfather, who died in ruin; his brother, Earl Derby; and Harry Montfort, her stepfather's womanizing and reckless son.
Harry Montfort hates the nobles, the kingdom, and English high society, despite being a duke against his will. He's content with his life as a successful businessman in New York. But when his cursed uncle petitions the House of Lords to assume the title Harry abandoned, and the queen herself summons him, he finds himself forced to return to England to exorcise the ghosts of his past once and for all.
But Harry didn't expect his brief stay in the kingdom to turn into a nightmare—which is what happens when the monarch demands he marry and assume his responsibilities as a duke. And he didn't expect even less that he would cross paths with an impulsive and quirky redhead: Evelyn Casey, his stepmother's daughter.
Once reunited, Evelyn and Harry realize that a marriage of appearances is the solution to all their problems. But would one of them—or both of them—be so foolish as to fall in love?
In Midnight, Evelyn!, we have a couple with the perfect idea, which has everything to work. But the heart doesn't usually obey reason willingly.
