Holy Scoundrel (Knave of Hearts: Book Four)

by Annette Blair

Overview

Lacey Ashton returns home to face the ghosts she left behind, among them Vicar Gabriel Kendrick, who now despises her as much as he once loved her. Five years before, unmarried and forced to name the father of her expected child, Lacey named another, which broke Gabe's heart. He vowed never again to let passion rule him. After bearing a stillborn child, Lacey was sent away. Gabe later married Lacey's cousin, Clara, a widow home from Scotland, and became stepfather to Clara's daughter, Bridget. Now that Clara has passed, Lacey wants a hand in raising Bridget. Surely a joyful relative is better for a child than a righteous, brooding stepfather.
