MIDNIGHT IN MOSCOW is the fourth novel in Rebecca Buckley's "Midnight" contemporary romantic series. Each novel introduces a new ensemble of characters whose lives intermingle with that of "Rachel O’Neill" (the common thread character in all twelve novels). Rachel's an American writer living in Cornwall, England.

In this novel, set in Russia, the story of Dana Doheney unfolds. She's in her 40s, has never married, is a strong independent woman afraid of relationships, afraid of the side effects and pain they cause. She owns a publishing company in New York City and is taking a month off from the stress and strain to do what she loves most - travel. This isn't her first trip to Russia, but it's the first time she feels a kinship with the people and the small villages. She never wants to leave. She's ready to give up all she has in the U.S. to live in Russia. Besides she may just fall in love for the first time in her life.

Rachel O'Neill reappears in all the "Midnight" novels as she celebrates New Year's Eve celebrations around the world (a promise she made to her dying father). Dana meets Rachel in Moscow at a booksigning during the Christmas holidays. Rachel is in Russia doing research for a new novel, is staying with a Russian gentleman friend she has been seeing since they met in Brussels on the previous New Year's Eve.

This is also a story of the Russian Amber trade, Russian peasant life, and touches on the glorious history of the country.

"Midnight in Moscow" is based on a short story that is included in my second volume of short stories: "Bits & Pieces of Me." It's called "The Train to Moscow", so for a preview ...
