Books like A Rake's Midnight Kiss by Anna Campbell
Brilliant 25‑year‑old Genevieve Barrett keeps a brilliant deception: she is the unseen author of her father’s articles. Her world is shaken when a handsome new student, Sir Richard Harmsworth, arrives at the family home. Richard, a 32‑year‑old with a rakish facade, secretly seeks the Harmsworth Jewel, a priceless gem his family covets, hoping to prove his rightful heir status. Genevieve recognizes the stranger as the masked intruder who previously attempted to steal the jewel. Concealing his true identity risks exposing her own hidden truths. As Richard pursues the gem, he falls for Genevieve, and she finds herself drawn deeper into danger than any treasure could threaten. The novel explores courtly intrigue, inheritance, and the fragile bonds that bind a young woman to her family and her own secrets.
