Under an African Moon. Moonstone Romances, #5

Seven years ago, seventeen-year-old Laura Chandler fell for Ross Kendrick, a penniless engineer with no fixed address and nothing to offer but himself. Her mother had raised her to know better than to marry for love alone, and Laura, young and obedient, sent him away. Within the year he married someone else. Now Laura is twenty-four, newly free of an engagement to a wealthy, well-connected headmaster who deserves better than a woman who's never stopped loving another man, and on her way to Kenya as companion to an old school friend whose husband works for a mining company in the Kenyan highlands.
She tells herself she's simply doing a favour. She knows better. She's read, months before, that Ross Kendrick is out here too, chief engineer on a dam scheme barely an afternoon's drive from where she's headed, and some reckless, unhealed part of her has been chasing the coincidence ever since. Ross has not forgiven her. He greets her not with warmth but with open, bitter accusation, certain she's engineered the whole trip to reopen an old wound now that she's grown up and, he assumes, looking to trade up from whatever comfortable fiancé she's left behind.
His own marriage ended only months before in a divorce he won't discuss, and the local doctor's daughter, Miranda Grant, seems poised to become the next Mrs. Kendrick, whether Ross has actually proposed or not. Between them stand a jealous, married mine-owner's son with wandering hands, a rival who may or may not be telling the truth about an engagement, a missing child, a night drive through a storm that ends in wreckage, and a man from England who arrives with a title and an estate and no intention of leaving quietly.
Somewhere in the Kenyan highlands, under a sky Laura never imagined for herself, she and Ross will have to decide whether seven years of bitterness can be undone by the truth, or whether some things, once broken, simply stay that way. Under an African Moon is a sweet, old-fashioned reunion romance set against the fading light of colonial Kenya, where old wounds run as deep as old rivers, and love, once true, refuses to stay buried.
