After Midnight

A holiday attraction blossoms on a South Carolina island in this captivating romance from the New York Times–bestselling author of Before Sunrise. On exclusive Seabrook Island, South Carolina, Nicole Seymour is simply Nikki—not the glamorous political fund-raiser she is in Charleston. It’s her spirited innocence and laughing green eyes that draw Kane Lombard to her from the moment they first meet on the beach. Although he seems as casual and unassuming as any vacationer, Nikki knows who Kane really is: a wealthy Houston oilman—and her brother’s biggest political rival. When Kane discovers the truth about Nikki’s identity, his desire turns instantly to distrust. Now Kane and Nikki find themselves pitted against each other in a battle that tests their loyalties and their desires. But even the most passionate enemies sometimes become lovers—after midnight.
