Midnight Curfew

Two rivals from opposing families fight their forbidden attraction to each other in the brand new, dark romance from New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas.

Summertime is quiet in southern Florida. In the humidity, the streets are empty, and the nights are still - perfect for a little mischief while the police aren’t looking.

One of five brothers, Dallas Jaeger grew up proud of his community on the wrong side of the tracks - Sanoa Bay - and now, as a man, he’s ready to fight to protect it.

Callum Ames has a reputation in St. Carmen, the affluent neighborhood bordering Sanoa Bay. He’s the hottest. The most popular. The one all the women want. But he has one major secret: he doesn’t want them.

Summer is also storm season. Heat, wind, rain… and a lockdown.

In a desperate bid to impress his powerful father, Callum suggests a curfew to hinder their rivals’ hold on the Bay.

Unfortunately, the Jaegers don’t like rules.

As Dallas and Callum clash, out for each other’s blood, they can’t ignore the heat between them - or the ending they can already see coming…

After all, curfews were meant to be broken.
