What this book is about
Evangeline Jenner, a painfully shy woman, proposes a marriage of convenience to Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent — the series villain turned hero. The Wallflowers series book 3 is widely considered Kleypas's masterpiece. Romantic content is moderately explicit; the hero has a reputation as a rake that is somewhat shown. A dying father plot thread creates emotional depth.
