This new novel version combines Nocturnal Surrender with the previously published novella, Midnight Confessions, and adds new chapters in between to expand on the story. Midnight Confessions will no longer be available as its own book but can be read here in its entirety. The two have been seamlessly blended with the added chapters to create one cohesive novel that pulls together the love story of Bastian Evanko and Nicole French.
