Of Midnight
Born
Alex Woding
had come seeking peace. And though the young astronomer
was thrilled to discover a place where he could pursue
his passion undisturbed, he had another motive for
seeking out Maiden Castle. There, in his youth, Alex
had glimpsed a beauty that had haunted him ever since.
Staring now into the evening sky, the gentleman saw
again the reason for his return.
For five
hundred years Serena Clerenbold had been a ghost --
since the days of the Black Prince -- and she had never
known peace. But watching the castle's handsome new
tenant, happiness was easy to imagine. Which made her
all the more determined to drive him away. Alex made
Serena burn to be flesh once more, to revel in a touch
she'd once reviled. He made her dream that she could be
saved, for there was no power greater than that of
love, even one... Of Midnight Born.
