The Return Of Rafe Mackade

Rafe MacKade is back, and trouble has never looked so good!

Ten years ago, notorious bad boy Rafe MacKade stormed out of his small town, leaving behind broken hearts and enough gossip to last for years. Now, cleaned up, successful, and still dangerously charming, Rafe returns determined to show he’s more than just his wild reputation. With his sights set on turning a crumbling inn into a cosy bed-and-breakfast, he jumps headfirst into the ambitious project. Only to realise it will take more than just hard work… To make his vision a reality, Rafe needs creativity, patience, and the skilled eye of someone who understands true beauty.

Enter Regan Bishop, the fiercely independent antique shop owner whose meticulous approach to life is challenged by Rafe’s undeniable charm. Accustomed to calling the shots and keeping her distance from town gossip, Regan has no intention of letting a legendary bad boy throw her off balance. Yet as they dive into the inn’s restoration side by side, their dynamic quickly shifts from strictly business to a heated push and pull. Soon sparks fly, walls start to crumble, and resisting temptation becomes harder with every passing day.

But with old rumours swirling and new feelings growing, Rafe and Regan must decide if they’ll risk their hearts for a chance at lasting love – or let fear stand in the way of their happy ending.

Sometimes, the best things in life are worth the risk.
