Mission at Midnight: A Romantic Opposites Attract Mystery & Suspense Family Saga Regency Romance (Chronicles of the Westbrook Brides Book 2) Kindle Edition
Spanish noblewoman, Clodovea de Soverosa, finds the glitter and gossip of Society stifling. Seeking solace in a secluded study while attending a ball, she inadvertently crosses paths with a mysterious stranger on a clandestine mission. Her encounter plunges her into a world of intrigue she's ill-prepared for. Mistaken for a criminal, Clodovea is swept into a whirlwind of danger and deception. As she grapples with her unforeseen circumstances, she discovers a strength within herself she never knew she had. Amidst the chaos, she finds herself drawn to her captor, a man she knows she should despise, but her heart suggests otherwise.
Lucius Westbrook, a loyal servant of the Crown, is on a mission to protect his country at all costs. His world turns upside down when he mistakenly kidnaps Clodovea, believing her to be a threat to national security. Faced with the consequences of his error, Lucius proposes a marriage of convenience to safeguard her reputation. As he struggles to maintain his façade of indifference, he finds himself falling for the fiery and resilient woman he's sworn to protect. Lucius must navigate his duty to his country and his growing feelings for Clodovea, realizing that her forgiveness is not easily won.
In this tale of mistaken identity and accidental abduction, Clodovea and Lucius are thrust together in a precarious duel of secrets and passion. As they face societal pressures and personal demons, they must decide whether their forced union can bloom into true love. In a world where every step could lead to heartbreak, can they find a path to happiness, or will their love be lost to the shadows of duty and honor?______________________________________________________________

From the Author
The first several chapters of MISSION AT MIDNIGHT popped into my mind early one morning when I couldn't sleep. As a pantser, I don't normally know that much about my stories before I start writing. I am especially excited to bring you a non-traditional Regency era heroine. Not only is Clodovea Spanish, but she also possesses a full figure. You will watch her blossom from an awkward, shy, ugly duckling into an elegant, graceful, and confident swan.
Hers and Lucius Westbrook's road to happily ever after is strewn with hardship. Not only does he mistake her for a notorious spy and abduct her, but he also leaves a trail behind that incriminates Clodovea. Lucius does such a thorough job that her family is expelled from England, and she suddenly finds herself in even greater peril.
Lucius and Clodovea must learn to trust and forgive as they overcome several obstacles on their rocky journey to loving each other. She finds she has more courage and confidence than she realizes as he discovers he's capable of great tenderness and compassion.
Other characters in MISSION AT MIDNIGHT who have books coming soon are Adolphus Westbrook—MARQUESS AT MIDNIGHT, Althelia Westbrook—HOLLY, MISTLETOE, AND MIDNIGHT SNOW, Eva Westbrook—THE WALLFLOWER'S MIDNIGHT WALTZ, Leonidas Westbrook—MINUET AT MIDNIGHT, and Fletcher Westbrook—KISS A RAKE AT MIDNIGHT.

From the Back Cover
17 February 1826
Spanish ambassador's home
Regent's Park - London, England
Nearly midnight
Now. Go now. Escape.
As the animated crowd surged toward the grand room in anticipation of the sumptuous supper laid out for Ambassador Domingo Felix Tur de Montis's three hundred and fifty guests, Clodovea seized the opportunity she'd waited nearly three hours to come to pass.
As diligent and protective as her older brothers and dragon-like duenna were, she'd likely not have another chance to escape this god-awful costume ball. Clodovea needed a few moments alone in a quiet place to regain her equanimity and allow her ire to abate.
Not just ire but fulminating hurt and humiliation too.
A fresh wave of mortification engulfed her, and her vision blurred.
No. I shall not cry.
Do not give them the gratification, Clodovea Madeleine Cayetana de Soverosa.
Your father was a noble.
You have noble blood in your veins.
You are not inferior to those women.
Jaw clenched tight, Clodovea blinked away the moisture pooling in her eyes.
She had not let the heartless harridans see her weep at their cruel barbs in the ballroom or retiring room, and she would not give them the victory now. Their cold cat-like eyes had shone with glee behind their elaborate masks as they curved their rouged mouths into satisfied feline smiles.
Why must the lovely English ladies in their clever costumes be so vicious?
Slender, graceful, sophisticated women who enjoyed degrading her for reasons Clodovea could not comprehend. Making a May game of her accent, her costume choice, her struggle with British customs, and her faulty English.
English.
Such an ugly, harsh, unromantic language, unlike the dulcet, warm tones of la lengua española.
Snapping her hand-painted ebony lace fan shut while simultaneously grasping the skirts of her black and silver gown in her other hand, she tore down the corridor.
She should never have indulged in the whimsical costume.
Black swan, indeed.
Swans were graceful, elegant creatures.
Clodovea was not.
She more closely resembled a cara blanca—a white-faced black Spanish chicken—some of the largest chickens alive. And the fact that she knew such an insignificant detail said much about her and the trite trivia she easily retained.
Thanks to her voluptuous mother—in truth, all her maternal female relations—Clodovea boasted an overly rounded bosom and generous hips. Mama's figure had been alluring, sensual, and oh so feminine, her movements as agile and graceful as a gazelle's.
Not so Clodovea's.
As much as it grieved her, she was...
Plump as a partridge and plodding as a plow horse.
Clodovea the clodpoll.
A few of the hateful sotto voce whispers directed toward her this evening replayed in her ears.
Never mind that her name was pronounced clode-oh-vee, not clod-dove-ee-ah.
Mama had named her after a mythical warrior, claiming that with three older brothers, she'd need to be strong and courageous.
However, Clodovea wasn't the least warrior-like—not daring or brave or valiant.
Neither was she as stout or clumsy as the stick-thin, shapeless, and flat-chested English ladies inferred.
Nevertheless, she did occasionally tread upon her dance partner's toes and found stays a nuisance beneath her gowns. The undergarment emphasized her cleavage, which needed no enhancement whatsoever and only served to lure lecherous male gazes.
Casting a swift glance behind her, Clodovea released the air she held in her lungs with a trembling sigh.
So far, so good.
She'd even avoided the Spanish guards making their rounds.
At these events, sentinels always patrolled inside and out—though no one openly admitted the gatherings were as much about politics and favors, extortion and exploitation, as entertainment and enjoyment.
Andrés, her oldest brother and a Spanish attaché, had dragged her to these elite assemblies since she'd turned eighteen, six years ago. Clodovea supposed she ought to appreciate the luxury and esteemed company.
Regardless, the truth was that ever since her parents died at a fiesta, she loathed crowds—particularly throngs of people whose high opinions of themselves, elevated noses, and contemptuous glances made her feel like a toad.
An ugly, mud-colored, warty toad.
She dashed along, grateful her lovely beaded silver silk slippers merely pattered—a soft swish, swish—on the cold, hard Calacatta gold Italian marble floor rather than clacked loudly with each swift step.
Gazing at herself in the cheval mirror this evening before leaving their rented Bedford Square house, she'd studied the young woman staring back at her.
Unexceptional but not homely.
Her wavy cocoa-bean-brown hair—her best feature—shone. Confident she'd picked the perfect costume to flatter her buxom figure, a glint of eagerness had lit her almond-shaped hazel eyes.
Tonto. Fool.
The black ostrich feathers tucked into Clodovea's intricate coiffeur frantically wobbled as she sped along, and she fretted they might fall out. Her silver fillagree earrings, set with jet and diamonds, swung back and forth, back and forth, pendulum-like as the jet swan cameo pendant that had belonged to her beautiful, blonde Castilian mother bobbed between her breasts.
A longcase clock somewhere in the house began to chime the midnight hour.
Hurry. Hurry.
You mustn't get caught.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2025I didn’t want this story to end. What a fun story with a beautiful romance. Perception is everything, we see what we want to see until we have to face the truth. Seeing Clodeovea’s growth and the softening of Lucius’s heart makes this a great story. I love a good spy story and a historical romance, this gives me a taste of both!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2023Lucius is the Brother who's working as a spy for the Home Office. When a innocent Spanish Miss goes into a room to hide during a ball at the Spanish Ambassador's, she encounters Lucius who believes her to be a spy and abducts her. This is definitely a enemy to friend plot. I enjoyed it although it felt like Lucius pivoted from intense hate to guilt to love extremely fast. Otherwise a good read.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2023When Clodovea accidentally interrupts Lucius Westbrook’s midnight mission at the Spanish Ambassador’s home, he is absolutely convinced he has caught the infamous enemy agent Astraea, and he takes her with him as he makes his escape. Clodovea tries to tell him she is not an agent, that she the sister of the Spanish Attaché. What will happen when he finally discovers she is telling the truth? She is not certain of his solution, but if she must choose between the convent and marriage to Lucius, he wins. Will it be a marriage of convenience, or maybe something more? This is a well-written fast-paced story with intrigue, danger, a bit of humor, and romance. I love the characters in this series. Lucius and Clodovea have a less than wonderful start and a bumpy road to happily ever after. The Westbrook family is delightful, welcoming and fun. Great read!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2025Lucous and Cordovia, I know I miss spelled them, sorry. Fascinating story of wrong place wrong time, or mixed up identity. Secrets, spies, kidnapping and family integrity . Great story
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024I thought it was a very good story as all of the books that I've read by Collette Cameron. I have only two major points to clarify. When speaking or reading Spanish, all vowels are pronounced. In the case of the heroine, although Clodovea may be a different language, in Spanish, you would pronounce her name as Cloh-do-ve-a. My second point is her uncle's name: Uncle (or Tio) Gregorio, not Gregoria. He is a male noun so takes on the male suffix 'o'. If you make it end in an 'a', then he would be Aunt (or Tia) Gregoria.
Thank you again for writing an otherwise wonderful tale!!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2023A young lady has arrived from Spain to join her two brothers who work for the Spanish ambassador to England. She has a most unprouncable name, I just called her Chloe. She manages to get herself kidnapped during a ball at the ambassadors residence by a British spy looking for a wanted female spy.
Once Lucius figures out that she is not a spy, he has to keep her safe. And the fun begins.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Some of the secondary characters are priceless. Best of all, Lucius is not an earl or a duke, but he is a man making his way in the world without pretense.
I gave this novel 4 stars.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2025Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2023Publishers Description covers what's in the book and not a lot more I can say, except Clodovea was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Lucius made a mistake, a big mistake kidnapping Clodovea. Once he realizes his mistake, he realizes he's fallen in love with the young lady. Does she love him enough to forgive him? May seem pretty straight forward, but it's not. Add everything listed and you have a great read. A clean romance.
