Mary Jane Wells played a very important role in narrating the temptation present in the story. All of us get this temptation when we look at something which we want to have. This is basically the temptation that makes us take part in certain things in which we would not have participated in reality. Author Lisa Kleypas thinks that this is the work of the devil which excites us and diverts our focus to a certain thing that we crave so much.
Lady Merritt Sterling knows this all too much so she has not fallen for any scandal after the death of her husband. She has been running the shipping business of her late husband in a wonderful way and she is not in the mood for any kind of scandal. However, when she meets Kier in London, sparks start to fly out of nowhere and she is amazed to see the attraction between her and that man who has nothing which she would like apparently.
Kier was also not in the mood to get engaged in any kind of relationship rather he was running from a killer who was trying to eradicate him from the face of the world. The man had no idea why someone was trying to kill him and when he finds out, he thinks that Merritt is the only one who could help him. This is the story of violent love like that in Devil in Spring because the two lovers have no control over their feelings.
They wanted to get away from one another and then they think that joining hands was beneficial for both of them. Listen to it because it is written by the author of Marrying Winterborne who has been ruling the hearts of millions of fans all around the world.
