A Rake's Redemption

by Maureen Mackey

Can anything induce an unrepentant rake to abandon his indulgences and reform himself? Prudence Culpepper doubts her childhood playmate, Lord Harry, is capable of changing his irresponsible ways. But a fire, and a desperate chase through the countryside bring out the best and worst in both of them. Prudence learns appearances can be deceiving, while Harry discovers falling in love can be more satisfying than pursuing empty pleasures. They both come to realize that only love can redeem their past mistakes and open their hearts to happiness.
