Publisher Description
If Lord Donovan Trent had his way, he would spend his days carelessly wooing the women of London society. Instead, he found himself banished to the English countryside of Cornwall, forced by the decrees of his father's will to run his family's tin mines and find a country bride. The last thing the handsome lord needed was a local lass sticking her nose into his affairs, but that seemed to be exactly what the parson's daughter Corisande Easton had in mind.

Secrets at Midnight - The Man of My Dreams
séries book 1
by Miriam Minger
Corie Easton has a mission in life and that is to help the less fortunate in the mining village. She’s not the type to fall head over heels in love that’s for young debutants and her best friend Lindsey Somerset. After all she’s seen what happens to those that lose their heart....her father never was the same after her mother died.
Enter Lord Donovan Trent the man that will change her life forever just as soon as she gives him a piece of her mind!
Donovan Trent is in a bind according to his late father’s stipulations he needs to marry a country girl of good breeding stock.....or no inheritance! Just when he believes that finding a wife to be daunting a spitfire of a woman literally falls in his lap!
It’s a win win for both, she gets the help for the miners/tinners and he gets his inheritance, what they didn’t expect is their fiery encounters to turn into an all consuming love!
This is my ultimate favourite trope, marriage of convenience! I loved Donovan he has a secret that he desperately needs to find (his daughter) so he needs the money but at the same time he feels the need to help the people of the village, not looking for love. He comes off like he doesn’t care but that’s far from the truth.
Corrie is scared at exposing her heart and being hurt and she hides this by letting her temper fly oh and what a temper! She’s AMAZING! Not afraid to speak her mind and speak it she does for the less fortunate, two people that truly need each other but secrets will get in their way before they realize that their love is a passionate all consuming one.
Fast paced with plenty of mystery and intrigue! Secrets and villains keep the reader full of suspense and on edge, the plot was well done and the secondary characters truly enhanced the story. Lots of sizzling passion and witty dialogue made this a FANTASTIC read!
Miriam Minger has a gift for storytelling that truly brings her characters to life.
Disappointed!
I read Twin Passions and was blown away at how good it was. I had high hopes for this story but as the hero called the heroine many times, she's a SHREW! Cursing, fowled mouth vicar's daughter. Very unlikable she was.
