Unexpected proposal leads to marriage of convenience from "summary" of The Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas
Evangeline Jenner had always been the shy and overlooked one in her family. She had resigned herself to a life of solitude and misery, until a chance encounter with the notorious Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent, changed everything. Desperate to escape her tyrannical relatives, Evangeline proposed a daring plan to Sebastian - a marriage of convenience. Although taken aback by her unexpected proposal, Sebastian saw the benefits of marrying Evangeline. With her sizable inheritance, he could finally pay off his mounting debts and save his family's estate from ruin. And so, they struck a deal - a marriage in name only, with no expectations of love or intimacy. As they embarked on their unconventional arrangement, Evangeline and Sebastian found themselves drawn to each other in ways they never expected. Despite their initial reservations, they began to see past the facade they had constructed and discover the true depths of each other's character. Their marriage of convenience soon blossomed into something more profound and meaningful. They found solace and companionship in each other's company, forming a bond that transcended their initial agreement. Love crept into their hearts, defying all logic and reason. Through trials and tribulations, Evangeline and Sebastian learned the true power of love and sacrifice. They faced opposition from society, betrayal from unexpected quarters, and internal struggles that threatened to tear them apart. But their bond only grew stronger, proving that sometimes the most unexpected proposals can lead to the most enduring and fulfilling unions.
