Publisher Description
In Mine Till Midnight, no-nonsense Miss Amelia Hathaway has no time for romance--but she can’t resist matching wits with a sexy former card sharp named Cam Rohan.
After inheriting a country estate, the Hathaway siblings are trying to recover from their troubled past and make a new start. As the family struggles with unforeseen problems, Cam Rohan keeps stepping in to help . . . and Amelia realizes the unpredictable charmer is actually a man she can rely on. During a night of blazing passion, the freedom-loving Cam makes it clear he’s willing to make any sacrifice for the woman who’s stolen his heart. But before they can plan a life together, they’re confronted by an enemy who’s bent on destroying the Hathaway family . . . all to keep them from discovering a centuries-old secret that could change their lives.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Historical romance master Kleypas reintroduces Cam Rohan, the wealthy half-Gypsy first seen in 2006's Devil in Winter, in her latest page-turning Victorian. Rohan, manager of a London gentleman's club, decides to do a favor for the distraught Amelia Hathaway, who is scouring brothels in search of her wastrel brother, Leo. Rohan, weary of his usual diet of beautiful-but-boring lovers, is bemused by and attracted to Amelia, a staid and proper spinster, and so he sets about making a presence of himself at the ramshackle Hathaway estate, sowing sexual tension as he does. As the standoffish relationship between Rohan and Amelia evolves into romance, the reappearance of Amelia's former suitor throws an intriguing wrench in the works. The author's sensitivity to the prejudice endured by the Roma (Gypsies) adds a measure of grim reality that is creatively offset by Rohan's discussion of Roma beliefs and superstitions. Kleypas's effortless style makes for another sexy exploration of 19th-century passion and peccadilloes, riveting from start to finish.

Fantastic story
I was first introduced to this series when I read “Married by Morning”. I didn’t realize it was a 5 book series. This series is so good. I honestly think this series along with the original series with “it happened one autumn” and then the most recent series “the cold hearted rake” should be made into a tv show like Bridgerton. It would get so much traction. I can read these books over and over again all 3 series, with the originals with west cliff and Sebastian and this series with the Hathaway’s and then the next generation with Sebastian’s and others children.
Lisa has a way to make the story come alive. I always feel that I am watching this unfold and you are in the story with them. You can visualize the setting and it is magical. These books have gotten me through a lot and thank you so much for creating such excellent book series! Lisa is a fantastic writer!
Loved it.
Oh my gosh. Wonderful book. Who could resist Cam!???
Regret Updating
This is a good book, but it seems like the last update cut out so much content. Why would content be cut out that, added to the story?
