Midnight in Brussels

MIDNIGHT IN BRUSSELS is the third novel in Rebecca Buckley’s “Midnight” contemporary romance series. Each novel captures the exotic essence of New Year’s Eve celebrations in major cities around the world. Each novel introduces a new ensemble of characters whose lives intermingle with that of “Rachel O’Neill” (the one major character who appears in all twelve novels). Rachel is an American writer living in Cornwall, England.

This is the story of Amanda Conroy Malone - a naive, inexperienced, young woman - whose husband of seven years disappears on Christmas Day. She is left penniless and jobless in the Nevada desert outside of Las Vegas in a house trailer without a car.

Amanda’s married sister whisks her away to a sprawling riverside home in the San Joaquin Valley - a far cry from the meager existence both girls experienced in the Arkansas hill country as they were growing up in their grandmother’s care.

She dreams of living in Bruges, Belgium - where lacemaking and medieval quaintness and beauty abound. How to get there from here is the problem. And the day comes when she must decide what she wants most: her dreams of Belgium or living in the USA with the man who adores her.
