Hero After Midnight

She walked into the masquerade like a dare-wearing a mask, a dress that could kill, and a look in her eyes I'd never seen before. I knew it was her. She didn't know I knew. Alia Gibson is my best friend's twin. Off-limits. Untouchable. The one girl I'm not supposed to want. I told myself I was just watching out for her. That's what friends do. But the truth? I've never wanted anything the way I want Alia. And if I cross that line... I'm not sure I'll ever come back. They walked away without ever saying what mattered most. But some sparks don't burn out-no matter how many years, secrets, or miles lie between them. Kait Nolan is stuck in an office all day, sometimes juggling all three of her jobs at once with the skill of a trained bear-sometimes with a similar temperament. After hours, she uses her powers for good, creating escapist fiction. The work of this Mississippi native is packed with action, romance, and the kinds of imaginative paranormal creatures you'd want to sweep you off your feet…or eat your boss. When she's not working or writing, she's in her kitchen, heading up a revolution to Retake Homemade from her cooking blog, Pots and Plots.
