Perhaps her stepmother has good reasons for forbidding her from attending the ball... Possibly her godmother's intentions aren't entirely altruistic... And maybe the most eligible bachelor in New Orleans isn’t who she’s meant to kiss…
Emmeline Martineau has lost her family, her friends, and her once promising future. But one night -- one ball -- can provide everything she's ever wanted. If only fate doesn't intervene...
Anthony Cazelar has a ship to captain, people to help, and a life to enjoy while he still can. He has no time for romance much less love. And one chance encounter may disrupt all his plans...
Emmeline realizes the life she envisioned is not the one that she wants but it may be too late. A newfound enemy is intent on destroying her reputation…and Anthony’s liberty. If they hope to escape with their lives and build a future together, they’ll need more than a little of midnight’s magic.
I loved this book from start to finish. I loved the characters and I loved how both of the main characters progress throughout the book. I would recommend this to anyone who loves historical romance. I could not put the book down, that’s how good it was.
The editing on this book is horrendous. Good story, good character building. I would recommend having this book edited properly. Some of the sentences were lacking words to make them make sense.
Emmiline and Anthony were very beautiful people who found love together at a very difficult time. They had to fight for their freedom from the tenets of slavery, as they were mixed people. It's a good story!
