The Rake's Return

Maggie Finch has been in mourning for ten years. Her husband Archie died when they were still young newlyweds, and she cannot overcome the loss. She plans to wear black, avoid society, and live in her late husband's house for the rest of her life.

But when the relative who inherited Archie's estate dies, it passes to Mr. Colin Finch, a notorious rakehell and gambler. He heads back to the country immediately, eager to claim what is his: a title, an estate, and Maggie.

Mrs. Finch knows that she should have nothing to do with her brother-in-law. But he is handsome, eager, and constantly making indelicate advances.

And as much she wishes to honor her late husband's memory, Maggie is sorely tempted to honor her own sinful desire.
