Set in the Victorian era, the novel is the third book in Kleypas' Wallflowers series, but it can be read as a standalone.

Sebastian, on the other hand, is a notorious rake who has sworn off marriage after a disastrous first marriage. When Evangeline's father bets her hand in a game of cards to Sebastian, the two are thrust together in a marriage of convenience. However, as they spend more time together, Evangeline and Sebastian's relationship begins to change. They find themselves drawn to each other, and despite their reservations, they begin to fall in love. But their pasts and societal expectations threaten to tear them apart. Kleypas' writing is engaging and evocative, bringing the Victorian era to life with vivid descriptions and well-developed characters. Evangeline is a strong and independent heroine who is not afraid to stand up for herself, while Sebastian is a complex and nuanced hero who must confront his own demons. The novel explores themes of love, trust, and redemption, as Evangeline and Sebastian navigate the challenges of their arranged marriage and learn to trust each other. The chemistry between the two characters is palpable, and their romantic tension keeps the pages turning. Overall, "Devil in Winter" is a captivating and satisfying historical romance that will appeal to fans of the genre. Kleypas' writing is masterful, and her characters are complex and relatable.
