Midnight in Your Arms

"Alaric Storm III feels like a ghost haunting his own busy household after returning from the bloody Crimean War. Thirty-five years later, frontline field nurse Laura Dearborn survives the Great War, but has no one to keep her company except the ghosts who help her earn her a meager living as a fortune-teller. Despite the barrier of time, Laura and Alaric have an impossible spiritual connection tied to his estate, Stonecross Hall, which Alaric leaves to Laura in his will — years before she's born. When she inherits Stonecross on her 28th birthday and connects with Alaric, they combine efforts to bridge the gap in time and fight for the love that binds them. Kelly's thoughtful debut novella sensitively evokes the horrors of war and the emotional difficulties facing veterans in peacetime, and the atmospheric descriptions of 1920s London and Victorian high society illuminate the temporal and social differences separating the lovers."
