The Midnight Letters

Under the cloak of midnight, secrets will be revealed …

A romantic novel of heartache and hope from the author of The Lamplighter's Bookshop.

London, 1900. Every night, as the city sleeps, Vivian Grey works by lamplight. An anonymous agony aunt behind her father's newspaper — guiding strangers through heartbreak with words.

Then Henry Briar walks back into her world. The man who once knew her better than anyone. Someone she has spent years trying to forget.

Now they share a newsroom, and a secret that neither of them is ready to speak aloud. Night after night, the distance between them feels dangerously small — but the truth, when it finally surfaces, will change everything.
