The Rake's Revenge (Gail Ranstrom).

The Rake'S Revenge by Gail Rantstrom *описание:*

The Earl of Glenross is determined to bring Afton lovejoy to justice and to spite the blackmailer rob Mchugh. But at what price for the Earl and Aftons love? Сюжет: Afton is under the impression that Robs household is wealthier than it really is, while Rob assumes Afton has inherited far more than they both expected. Now Robs laird has come to London in hopes of convincing a dubious, cynical Aunt Harriet that it is not Rob that is after her fortune.

Rob is staying with his blackmailed Aunt Harriets elderly grandson in the hope of restoring a lost mansion which he overpaid in a frenzy of extravagance last year.

With Afton constantly scheming ways to outwit Rob the two refuse to realize that they are enmeshed in "complicated" plots of their own making.
