Midnight Sun

by Lisa Jackson

Overview

It might have been nearly four hundred years since the Montagues and Capulets wove their deathly web, but Shakespeare knew that the sins of the parents are recreated generation after generation.

And so it was with the Stephens and the Daniels, the owners of Oregon's leading lumber mills. Separated at the age of twenty-one, Ashley Stephens and Trevor Daniels tried to deny the flames of passion that refused to die for eight long years. But on the election eve of Trevor's senatorial race, with leading executives at Stephens Timber Corporation pledging to do him in, Ashley and Trevor looked more like Romeo and Juliet than their forefathers would ever dare to admit.

Editorial Reviews

04/20/2015
Jackson celebrates her 30th year of publishing bestselling romance and romantic suspense novels with the reissue of her 1985 tale of family versus family in the Oregon logging community. Ashley Stephens and aspiring politician Trevor Daniels, descended from rival lumber mill owners, spent one summer together as a couple. But Ashley got impatient for Trevor to propose and instead she married a man chosen by her father. Eight years later, now divorced and back in Oregon, Ashley has inherited her family’s business. Inevitably, Ashley meets Trevor again, only to discover that someone at her company may be sabotaging his senatorial campaign and possibly trying to kill him. Ashley and Trevor must overcome eight years of misunderstandings to learn the truth and push forward as a couple. Readers will chuckle at the outdated elements: Trevor is amazed by Ashley’s “liberated” attitudes, and characters unable to reach others via their landlines are forced to call operator assistance for information. Those willing to overlook the old-fashioned style and Jackson’s comical metaphor-heavy descriptions of lovemaking will enjoy this throwback. (Mar.)

In a situation straight out of Romeo and Juliet, a pair of star-crossed lovers from warring lumber mill families come together after years of separation. They set passions and old enmities ablaze as they clash fiercely in their efforts to untangle a deadly web of secrets in this romance that was first published as a Silhouette Special Edition in 1985 and foreshadows Jackson's later romantic suspense best sellers.
