In the first of a brand-new series set in Victorian England, a young woman returns home from India after the death of her family to discover her identity and inheritance are challenged by the man who holds her future in his hands.
Rebecca Ravenshaw, daughter of missionaries, spent most of her life in India. Following the death of her family in the Indian Mutiny, Rebecca returns to claim her family estate in Hampshire, England. Upon her return, people are surprised to see her…and highly suspicious. Less than a year earlier, an imposter had arrived with an Indian servant and assumed not only Rebecca’s name, but her home and incomes.
That pretender died within months of her arrival; the servant fled to London as the young woman was hastily buried at midnight. The locals believe that perhaps she, Rebecca, is the real imposter. Her home and her father’s investments reverted to a distant relative, the darkly charming Captain Luke Whitfield, who quickly took over. Against her best intentions, Rebecca begins to fall in love with Luke, but she is forced to question his motives—does he love her or does he just want Headbourne House? If Luke is simply after the property, as everyone suspects, will she suffer a similar fate as the first “Rebecca”?
A captivating Gothic love story set against a backdrop of intrigue and danger, Mist of Midnight will leave you breathless.

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: Mist of Midnight
Book Author: Sandra Byrd
What do you like about this book:
"Perhaps Paradise once lost cannot be regained no matter how one wishes it might."
Rebecca Ravenshaw's future has become as murky as the mist that rises each evening around her beloved Headbourne House, or at least the home that she is attempting to prove belongs to her; she made a harrowing discovery upon her arrival back from India following the death of her parents; a young woman posing as "Rebecca Ravenshaw" is dead and buried behind the estate's chapel. A distant cousin is now presumed to be the legal property owner, a Captain Luke Whitfield, whose polite distrust is both interesting and unnerving, for both of them have a myriad of questions that need to be answered.
This gothic tale meanders through half-truths like a dangerous snake in the grass, which by the way, helps prove Rebecca's claim, but in the short term serves to distance her from the one person her heart yearns to know. Prickling with morbid suspense, this nearly tragic romance blossoms when all things lost, are found.
