Plot Summary of Wicked Cousin
"Bryony's best friend is her distant cousin Lucas. He is in love with her, but does not express his feelings because he fears rejection due to his obesity. Then Lucas goes on an errand of mercy, and disappears...

Four years later, Bryony is poised to marry obnoxious former actor Stephen. But as she grows more and more wary of him, she also becomes more and more fond of her new librarian, an athletic, handsome, but secretive young man who also seems suspicious of Stephen. Desperate, Bryony proposes a marriage of convenience with the librarian, but Lucas cannot conceal his identity forever... "
