He was once a legendary highwayman. Now he's a recluse, living out his life in a ruined hideaway. When Lady Leigh Strachan comes looking for a man who can teach her how to wreak revenge on her enemy, she's disgusted and disillusioned to find that the famed Prince of Midnight can hardly stand steady on his own two feet. S.T. Maitland wants nothing to do with his former criminal career, or with this fierce, beautiful, unhappy woman, until the old thrill of living on the cutting edge of danger begins to rise in his blood again.

Publication: Avon Books 1990; ISBN 0-380-76130-0; available as Print-On-Demand trade paperback Setting: England and France, late 18th Century Mascot Animal: Nemo, the wolf Laura's Comment: My sister is quite proud that the original idea for S.T.'s rather unusual problems with balance came directly from her bout with a similar condition, which temporarily affected her inner ear. Watching her get up from bed and fall in a heap was quite inspiring to a writer. Aren't we a heartless bunch? Oh, and I did spend a good bit of time spinning myself in a circle (remember doing that when you were a kid?) to get the feel of it for myself. Recognition: WINNER--Golden Choice Award for Best Romance of 1990, Romance Writers of America Laura's Fave Review of The Prince of Midnight: "A true storyteller, Laura Kinsale has managed to break all the rules of standard romance writing and come away shining. There is not a virgin to be found, and certainly no flawless hero to be worshipped. What a refreshing change." San Diego Tribune, March 8, 1991 |
