"A neat twist on the Faustian legend"
After her Irish healer foster mother dies Caitlin
O'Brien can no longer remain where she was raised due to
the numerous reminders of her beloved guardian. Feeling
alone, Caitlin travels the countryside providing solace and
healing. The Marquis of Ravenskeep, Lord Adam Lightfoot asks
Caitlin, who has gained a reputation as a healer, to help
his son Andrew injured in a carriage accident in which his
mother died. Willing to do anything for his son, Adam also
signed a pact with the devil exchanging his soul for the
life of his beloved boy. As Andrew and Caitlin begin to
cherish one another in a child-matriarchal relationship,
Adam and his healer also fall in love. Though Caitlin has
captured his heart, the devil owns Adam?s soul. COME MIDNIGHT is an exciting paranormal historical
romance that uses a Faustian twist to provide freshness to
the tale. The characters make the pact with the devil seem
as if this really happened so that readers believe in the
twisting plot that never slows down for a moment and in the
authenticity of the key cast members. Veronica Sattler
provides an entertaining novel that readers will enjoy
while wondering whether the author?s immense talent comes
from a pact. Harriet Klausner
