Long Night Moon was originally published in 1995 by Bantam Books. Theresa Weir wrote four books for Bantam. This was the fourth and last, written before she moved to Harper Collins.
This is a classic romance, not as well-known as some of Theresa's other titles, but it has held up well, possibly because it has solid characters, great dialogue, and a plot that might have been a little too outside the box for the time. It's a very dark topic, but the book has a lot of funny dialogue and HEA.
A popular trope: The hero thinks the heroine is one thing, in this case an evil bitch, and treats her cruelly, only to discover that she's not who he thinks she is, and then he spends many pages on his knees, full of remorse. And not only is Sara Ivy not who he thinks she is, she needs his help. In one scene, The hero has been watching her for days, hoping to get a shot for his tabloid. When he sees her walking to beach in the middle of the night, he thinks he'll get a photo of her with a lover.
But the lover ends up being Lake Michigan, and he must swim after Sara Ivy to keep her from committing suicide. Later, on the shore, she hands gives him his camera and tells him to take her picture. Which he does. He develops it, but never runs it in the paper.
This book has been compared to Sleeping With the Enemy, and rightly so.
