Being naked with a woman is one thing (and Ian might be a little too comfortable with that), but being stripped emotionally naked by a woman-for the first time ever- is another thing altogether. Or should I say, lucky Phinneas? He goes out of the way to avoid surprises, and he's about to get the biggest surprise of his life! And so is Ian Eversea, for very similar reasons. Which only leads to some very romantic complications. Which he nobly and gallantly rescues her from. Or, more to the point, consider his betrothed, Lady Olivia Archer, known as London’s Least Likely To Cause A Scandal, who is determined to deter The Mad Baron from his plans to marry her by breaking every rule governing the behavior of proper young ladies. For example, his late wife was a veritable she-devil whose untimely demise was unfairly blamed on him.
But he has an unfortunate talent for attracting women prone to outrageous behavior. Maya: The hero of Wallflower Gone Wild, Phinneas Cole-formally known as Baron Radcliff, and popularly known as The Mad Baron, though he preferred to be called Phinn-actually wants to be leg-shackled, caught in the parson’s mousetrap, become a tenant for life, etc, etc. If you only knew what was in store for you. He can handle just about anything with equanimity, whether it's taking a bayonet in the gut or walking home at midnight through the Sussex countryside naked, in just one boot, but there are two things he knows with unshakeable certainty: he can seduce any woman he chooses, and there isn't a woman alive who can convince him to become leg-shackled in marriage. But Ian is a war hero and he has the scars to prove it. And just ask the Redmond family what they think of Ian's sister Olivia-she allegedly broke golden boy and heir Lyon Redmond's heart, which is why he disappeared. After all, in The Perils of Pleasure, Ian watched his brother Colin disappear from the gallows in a puff of smoke in What I Did for a Duke, Ian was ushered naked out an upper-story window by the pistol-wielding Duke of Falconbridge. Julie: You know, things just seem to happen to Everseas (and if we're being honest, because of Everseas). Our heroes and heroines are about to get the shock of their lives. Julie Anne Long and Maya Rodale: Welcome! And SHHHH!! You've just stumbled into a surprise party in honor of Between the Devil and Ian Eversea and Wallflower Gone Wild.
