help The Devil in Winter FAQ
Why does Evie Jenner marry Sebastian in Devil in Winter?
Evie proposes a marriage of convenience to escape relatives who control and mistreat her while gaining access to her dying father. Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent, needs her inheritance because his title has not left him financially secure.
Do I need to read the first two Wallflowers books before Devil in Winter?
The central romance can stand alone, but the earlier books establish the Wallflowers and Sebastian's serious misconduct toward Lillian Bowman. Reading Secrets of a Summer Night and It Happened One Autumn makes his redemption arc clearer.
Why is Sebastian considered a controversial romance hero?
In It Happened One Autumn, Sebastian abducts Lillian and attempts to force a marriage, making him an antagonist before his own book begins. Devil in Winter asks readers to judge his transformation through his conduct toward Evie and his management of Jenner's gambling club.
Which Lisa Kleypas book continues the Jenner family story?
Devil's Daughter, part of the Ravenels series, features Evie and Sebastian's son Gabriel, Lord St. Vincent. Evie and Sebastian also reappear as an established couple in later books connected to the Wallflowers and Ravenels.
