Books like Promise At Midnight by Lilian Peake


Shona is hired as an accompanist on a Mediterranean cruise liner, where she performs for her fiancé Calvin, a promising flutist. The joy of accompanying seems diminished by Calvin’s critical nature. Add to this the presence of Marsh Faraday, whose sarcasm and fault‑finding add to Shona’s frustration. As events unfold, Shona finds her mind turning more often to Marsh than to her fiancé, setting the stage for a bittersweet exploration of duty, affection, and unexpected attraction.
