Haha, pretty much, ok, here's how it went. We have Rafe and Dani. They were engaged 5 years ago. They were staying at someone's house. It was a big event, lots of people staying the night, including Rafe's friend Oliver. Rafe and Dani weren't married yet, so they were in separate rooms. So a footman comes to Rafe and says he found a note in Oliver's room allegedly from Dani, inviting Oliver to stay in her room. So Rafe rushes to Dani's room, throws open the door, and sees Dani and Oliver in bed. He yells, other people come rushing out of their rooms, so people see them in bed together. Dani insists she did not send the note and that she had been sound asleep until Rafe burst through the door. Rafe does not believe her. Rafe breaks off the engagement, and Dani now has a terrible reputation. She is shunned by everyone and basically lives in hiding for 5 years. After 5 years, she comes out of hiding. She met a man from far away, and he wants to marry her. She told him the whole story of her reputation, and he said that's ok, they are going to live far away anyway, so she said yes. Then she runs into Rafe. He confronts her, she still says she didn't do it. So now he's slightly intrigued and hires a private investigator. He conveniently kept the note from 5 years ago inviting Oliver to her room. The PI compares it to her handwriting and says it's not a match. Then the PI conveniently tracks down the footman, and right away the footman just admits that he didn't actually find the note on the ground; Oliver paid him to give it to Rafe. Then he confronts Oliver, and Oliver just fully admits it, admits that he wanted to break up Rafe and Dani because he wanted to marry Dani, so he sent the note himself, paid the footman to take it to Rafe, crept into her bed while she slept, then waited for Rafe to come find them like that. Rafe is engaged to someone else during all this, but then the girl and her family say they want to end it, and Rafe is ok with that, so it was all completely mutual and drama-free. It was all just way too convenient. So anyway. Rafe goes to Dani. He says that he doesn't think she loves her fiancé, and he believes her now, so he wants her to end the engagement and marry him instead. She says no. So he says he will go tell all of her fiancé's friends and family about the Oliver thing, except that he will lie and say it's all true so that they all think she's a disputable woman and demand that the fiancé break it off with her, and then Dani will have to marry Rafe whether she likes it or not, and that will be good because Rafe is the only man who can make her happy..... So I wasn't really into the book as it was, but then that whole "I know what is best for you, and I will force you to do what I want" thing.... Yeesh, no thanks!
