A Midnight Proposal

New York Times bestselling author Lorraine Heath is back with a brand-new, fake dating historical romance about what happens when love, temptation, and murder collide…

Wrongly convicted of murdering her husband, Desdemona Bradford is locked up and awaiting execution when in the dark of night the enigmatic Inspector Jamie Swindler appears in her cell with a shocking proposal: pretend to be his wife. In exchange for her freedom, he’ll use her to infiltrate a deadly conspiracy ring, tracking down the Angel Maker, a mysterious serial killer who has been helping women rid themselves of their unwanted husbands.

Mona has no choice but to agree, with one condition: Jamie must vow never to touch her. As they delve deeper into the investigation, Mona is driven to uncover the truth behind her own husband’s death, but with every passing moment, the line between duty and desire begins to blur.

As their game grows more intense, so does the undeniable attraction between Jamie and Mona. Can they survive the dangers that threaten them both—or will temptation be their ruin?
