Midnight Letters
Rowan Wilder
In the gilded halls of Victorian London, Eleanor Blackwell's carefully arranged life is unraveling at the seams. Trapped in a loveless engagement to the controlling Lord James Harrington, she finds herself drawn to Vivian Foster, the rebellious portrait artist hired to immortalize their impending union.
What begins with a mysterious sketch and a provocative question—"You seemed trapped. Are you?"—soon blossoms into a secret correspondence that awakens desires Eleanor never knew existed. As midnight letters pass between them, Eleanor and Vivian risk everything to steal precious moments together in moonlit gardens and hidden alcoves.
But in 1890s London, two women daring to love is more than scandalous—it's dangerous. When their forbidden relationship is discovered, Eleanor must make an impossible surrender to societal expectations or follow her heart into the unknown with Vivian.
From the rigid drawing rooms of aristocratic England to the bohemian artist cafés of Paris, Midnight Letters is a sweeping tale of courage, sacrifice, and the transformative power of love. As Eleanor and Vivian build a new life together against all odds, they discover that the most profound revolution can happen in the human heart.
Perfect for fans of Sarah Waters, Olivia Waite, and Bridgerton lovers seeking a more diverse historical romance, this meticulously researched novel explores the hidden histories of queer women who dared to create lives of authenticity and passion in an unforgiving era.
"Two women's dangerous passion defies Victorian convention in this exquisitely written historical romance. Their midnight letters carry whispers of freedom neither dared to imagine."
