Books like A Gift for a Rake by Ann Barker


While en route to Christmas family gatherings, Eleanor Carruthers is forced to seek shelter in the wintery cellar of the notorious Charles Christian Hurst. An accident leaves him wounded and his wife dead, a tragedy Hurst is believed to have caused. Over time, however, Eleanor sees a gentler side in the famed rakish man. Their growing attraction is interrupted when additional travelers arrive, including Patricia Reynolds, one of Hurst’s previous lovers. When the snow finally melts and Eleanor must depart, she learns that Hurst’s disability may be temporary and that he was innocent in his wife’s death. Determined to reveal the truth, she contemplates whether Hurst will turn to her or remain with Miss Reynolds.
