A Cry at Midnight — Victoria Chancellor

Suddenly transported to the Old South, twentieth-century beauty Randi Galloway finds herself employed as governess to widower Jackson Durant's only child, Rose. Randi has never met anyone who stirs her soul like the darkly handsome plantation owner with a determined spirit and a mysterious past. But history tells Randi that Rose and Jackson will die in the flood of 1849, and her heart refuses to allow that to happen to the sweet child and her stubborn father; she will not rest until she finds a way to save the little girl she loves and the man she desires. For seeing Jackson and Rose together, Randi knows that she has found the one man with whom she can truly share the soft sweet splendor of the Tennessee nights.
