Irina Brodsky asked Grace Burrowes:

I'm currently reading Elizabeth Windham and Julian's story, and Elizabeth mentions a recent scandal with Lord Allermain. I've read all the prior connected books up to this point and I have a niggling sense of deja vu where I feel like this incident appeared in a previous book where the scandal was averted by her Windham cousins. I've been scouring the internet and just can't find anything about it. Am I imagining it?

Grace Burrowes Irina, you aren't imagining anything. In my early drafts of the book, I'd started the story with the scenes of the bungled abduction, but it occurred to me: Allermain isn't going to appear at any other point in the story. He's a rotter. Why give him even a cameo in the opening? Down came the editorial machete of doom, and thus you are left wondering, "Did I miss something?" Nope. All that unfortunate incident got was a mention as backstory. Sorry that decision left you wondering!
