Two Past Midnight

Two Past Midnight is set in the fictional town of Oak Hills, Nebraska. It tells the story of Cassidy Voltaire and Landon Reese, stereotypical childhood sweethearts who grew up in the sheltered bosom of their small town surrounded by their friends, and very much in love.

On the night they graduate high school, Cassidy and Landon make a pact; to meet in a special clearing in the woods at two minutes past midnight in exactly ten years' time; to see if their dreams and aspirations have indeed come true, or if the lives they thought they would lead were nothing more than adolescent fairytales.

Fast-forward ten years, and Cassidy – now a successful lawyer practicing out of Washington D.C. is returning to Oak Hills for the first time in years. The occasion? Her 10 year high school reunion. But Cassidy isn’t looking forward to the trip. In fact, she’s dreading it, because she knows she’ll come face to face with Landon, a man she hasn’t seen in six years. And she’ll be forced to confront the tragic event that ripped the young lovers apart – seemingly forever.

Two Past Midnight gels perfectly with the contemporary romantic fiction genre. The dialogue is fast, and often acerbic. The characters are flawed, but likeable. And the story itself contains those ingredients essential to any romance… hope, and a belief in true love.
