What this book is about
Evangeline Jenner is plain, stutters, and has been kept from her father's fortune by scheming relatives. She needs a husband immediately to escape them. Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent—the most scandalous man in London—needs money. They make a deal. Devil in Winter is the third of the Wallflowers quartet and frequently cited as one of the finest historical romances ever written, primarily because of how well it develops Sebastian's transformation.
