An Inconvenient Duke attempts to mesh several story lines together to create one coherent story. The first is the budding relationship between the brand-new Duke (Marcus) and his late sister's best friend (Danielle). Then there's the murder mystery surrounding the death of his sister (Elise). And then there's the Nightingale plot, where Danielle "vanishes" women who are trapped in abusive marriages, without a cent to their name. And it mostly works. The three plots wouldn't stand on their own, but work together for a better whole. Much like other books with multiple plot lines, they compete for which is the most important aspect of the story.
