The Rakess by Scarlett Peckham

Adam is in town to get a job done when he mets Seraphina. He knows her reputations but is drawn to her. The more time they spend together, the more he sees that her reputation is not all that she is. But he can't afford the scandal that would come his way if it was known that they were having an affair. How long can they keep it a secret?

Seraphina is in the home she grew up in to write her memoir. She plans to expose the man that ruined her all those years ago and the proceeds will go to financing her dream of helping others. But when Adam gets too close to her, she does what she always does and pushes him away.

While they both fell in love, they each have their own reasons for not admitting it. Do these two stand a chance of getting their HEA?

I loved this story!! It was definitely different from the historical romances that I read. We have a female rake and a lonely widower. It broke my heart to read how Seraphina was being treated by most of the people that she didn't consider a friend. Even though she said that her ill treatment didn't bother her, the way she hid behind a bottle told you otherwise. I love that Adam saw a side of her that she tried to hide from everyone except those closest to her and pushed her to be a better person. 

This was a great read and a nice change from what I normally read in this genre. I'm excited to see what she comes up with for the next book in the series!
