Midnight Dreams

Midnight Passion

Forced to wait tables after her husband stole money from their successful Manhattan hair salon and left her for another woman, Jade Alexander made two resolutions for the New Year—reopen her business someday and never trust another man again with her heart. But when she attends her friend's New Year's Eve party, she meets her old flame, Terrell Edmonds. As the clock strikes midnight, Jade can feel her resolve weakening—and her desire kindling— under his piercing gaze.

Midnight Wishes

Six years ago, Terrell Edmonds lost Jade—the only woman he believes was "the one" for him—by letting her marry the wrong man. Determined not to lose her again, Terrell sets out to convince Jade that love can be sweeter the second time around—and together, they can make all of their wishes for the New Year come true…
