Sommario/riassunto

April Windmire is the answer to Matt Seever's prayers. But racial prejudice in the old South threatens to keep them apart. Haley Whitehall brings you another passionate tale in Midnight Kiss, Book 3 of her historical romance series Moonlight Romance. Sometimes love is black and white.Unjustly accused of stealing, nanny April Windmire is turned out on the streets without pay. With no place to go and no friends, she stows away on a Mississippi River steamboat. Her hopes to hide through the journey to St. Louis are dashed when a handsome white officer finds her. But instead of turning her in, he takes her to his private quarters where she fights her growing attraction to a man she cannot have.Matt Seever's wife died four year ago, leaving him alone with two small mulatto children. But his job as an officer on the Queen Bee isn't family friendly. He knows he needs a new wife, but no southern white woman will marry him. When April lands in his lap, his prayers are answered. Or are they? April's not the trusting type and racial prejudice runs deep in post-Civil War Missouri. Just when Matt convinces April he loves her, his new family becomes a target and there's no backing down from this fight.Together, April and Matt must brave heinous race prejudice crimes to find an enduring love.Content Notes: Hot, Interracial, Historical, 1800s, Civil War, Multi-Cultural
