Mine Till Midnight

Author: Lisa Kleypas
Stars: 3.5
Review by: BookLover

Amelia is in desperate search of her brother, Leo, after his financee died of scarlet fever, which had ravaged their village.  He has become a lost soul, drinking, fighting, and whoring.  Amelia must shoulder so much of the family burden now, especially since her father died of a heart attack and her mother died shortly thereafter of grief.  Amelia finds Leo but he is bent on self-destruction.  In the midst of everything, Amelia, who had seen herself as a spinster, is wooed by Cam Rohan.  Meanwhile, Leo's fiancee has reappeared as a ghost, their house catches fire, and Amelia's ex-fiance (who broke her heart years ago) tries to steal riches out of the walls of their house.
