This is a summary that isn't (yet) in the generator:

SOLDIER'S SECRET CHILD by Caridad Piñeiro
At eighteen, Macy Ward had turned to Fisher Yates for a night of comfort before he left for the military. Now he’s back in town and unaware that Macy’s troubled son is the result of that unforgettable night – until the boy mysteriously disappears…

What caught my eye about it? Well, Fisher-Yates is a well-known algorithm to shuffle a list. I use it in a lot of my random generators (though, as it happens, not the Unconventional Courtship generator). I wonder if it's a deliberate reference to the algorithm?

Oh, and while I'm here...

253) BAD BRIDESMAID - PORTIA MACINTOSH

'My wedding is ruined and my marriage is going to fail. And it’s all your fault!' [Newcastle] romcom writer [Lydia Wickham] has it all; money, success, a tanned and toned body, golden blonde hair and a string of sexy lovers. She’s almost forgotten her previous self: plain old [Lydia Bennet]. Until a wedding invitation arrives requesting (demanding!) her presence as chief bridesmaid at her [older] sister [Mary]’s upcoming nuptials.

[Lydia]’s barely been back in [Hertfordshire] before she’s accidentally injured the groom, unintentionally ‘cursed’ the wedding and been caught in a compromising position with her sister’s soon to be brother-in-law! With the wedding of the year going dangerously off the rails, [Lydia] has no time to waste – especially with sexy [colonel] and best man [Richard Fitzwilliam] on hand to help… Will she use all of her expert romance knowledge to save the day or will she just walk away? No one ever said a bad girl had to turn good…

Yep, that sounds like Lydia. The bit I don't quite believe is that it's Mary scoring the wedding of the year.

Could be Kitty, but I think it works better with Mary as the one being upstaged. Also, since (IIRC) Mary married a local boy and the other sisters didn't, the population of Meryton might decide that hers was the wedding worth paying attention to.

[pedanther]

Good point.

I think it's a deliberate reference by the writer. I would put it in to amuse myself if I was the writer. Or ironically they used a random M&B name generator to come up with the name!

I like the idea of 'turning to Fisher Yates' as a euphemism for using a random generator :-)
