Plus I didn’t even get fifty pages in to the second book where that happens before I stopped reading it out of boredom.) (This is addressed in the book, and I think Kleypas successfully digs herself out of the hole she’s created, but it’s a bit of a strange choice to begin with. But don’t worry about that, he didn’t *really* mean her harm.
Vincent, an unrepentant rake who apparently kidnapped her friend last book and tried to get her to marry him because he needs to marry a wealthy woman in order to maintain his lordly lifestyle. She knows she needs to find someone just as desperate as she is who will agree to an elopement and a marriage of convenience. They won’t let her see her dying father, and are trying to force her to marry her cousin because they want to retain control of her money. The plot here is that Evangeline Jenner needs to marry quickly in order to get away from her abusive family, who only want to secure her fortune. I’m glad I finally read this one, though, even if I didn’t think it was A M A Z I N G or anything. I think Kleypas basically caught lightning in a bottle with her two main characters, Evie and Sebastian, but I don’t have faith that she can recreate the magic in other books, so I probably won’t be reading any of her other stuff.
