Guy Milton, the Earl of Quinton, is not happy. It's extremely bad luck to be kidnapped, especially in the middle of the night while he is supposed to be sound asleep in his bed. Now doom is imminent. His kidnappers are going to kill him. He just knows it.
But instead of killing him, he is forced to marry Lydia. While one would think this would come as a welcome relief, such isn't the case. Marriage under force at midnight to a lady with two redheaded brothers means bad luck. To make matters worse, after the wedding, they hurry him off to a country estate full of so much bad luck that he's sure this is where he'll die.
When Lydia decided to kidnap Lord Quinton, she thought her biggest problem would be convincing him to get her with child. She didn't think she'd have to convince him that he'll live long enough to survive the task.
This is a romantic comedy with a superstitious hero, a heroine who needs money, and an estate with a classic gothic feel to it.
