Imagine if you were young, beautiful, ill, sheltered, not expected to live, and you'd never been kissed. That could feel tragic to a young woman.
If a herbalist said she could save you, and all you had to do was promise to marry some rich, eligible bachelor, it would be a no-brainer. Sign me up, a young heroine might say.
So, Vivian Darius promises to marry Lord Everleigh. Not a problem, she thinks, because she isn't expected to live.
