Midnight Lord by Marlene Suson is the second of her Midnight Trilogy. The setting of this historical romance is 1741, Virginia Frontier. The story begins with Stephen Wingate, Lord Arlington trying to escape his pursuers. Stephen had endured all the cruelty that fate offered him. He was kidnapped, robbed of his identity, and sold as an indentured servant in the colonies. During his escape, he collapsed from exhaustion.
Megan Drake and her younger brother Josh heard the noise outside. When they found Stephen, he was taken inside the cabin and nursed back to health. Due to his physical appearance and marks on his body from severe whippings, Meg assumed he was a transported convict and not the person he claimed to be. Throughout the story, he tries to convince her that he is a gentleman of the upper class and was given the identity of an English convict.
My Thoughts
The author wrote a captivating story of Stephen falling in love with Megan, despite her lack of beauty. He was thoughtful, hardworking, and he also had a very protective nature. Midnight Lord keeps the reader in suspense. Will Stephen be recaptured and returned to his cruel master? Read this story to find out!
