Devil in Winter

Desperate to escape her manipulative relatives, the shy and stammering Evangeline Jenner seeks an unlikely alliance with the infamous London rake, Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent. Their solution: a marriage of convenience, a shocking prospect given their disparate reputations. As Evie, the overlooked wallflower, navigates her new life, Sebastian discovers her surprising inner strength and a quiet determination that ignites a desire unlike any he's known. Evie, in turn, is resolved to win her husband's elusive heart, proposing a daring bargain: if Sebastian can remain celibate for three months, she will grant him full access to their marital bed. Their unconventional union is tested further when a vengeful enemy from Evie's past emerges, threatening her safety and their burgeoning bond. Sebastian, fiercely protective, vows to shield his wife at all costs, even risking his own life. Against a backdrop of societal judgment and personal peril, they fight for a love that defies expectations, transforming a pragmatic arrangement into an all-consuming passion.
