A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE CAN BE SO INCONVENIENT...WHEN A LADY FALLS IN LOVE!
The cad had walked in on Miss Ashley Madison while she was in dishabille, stark naked in the bath. She'd damned his apologies and sent him packing, but simply couldn't get his blue eyes and sensual smile out of her mind. She never imagined she'd actually meet him again - and that he would turn out to be her new fiance, Lord Shandal or, as the wags of the ton had dubbed him, Lord Scandal.
Ashley was horrified. Marry a rake who had a mistress? Marry a gadabout who thought her a country bumpkin? Marry a man who had stolen her heart with his very first glance? Never! But Ashley had no choice - she had to meet him at the altar. She could only hope that her kisses would arouse a passion powerful enough to turn this wandering ladies' man into one lady's one and only love.

Ashley and Shandal marry. He tells her before the time that he is not interested in a love match and intends to keep his mistress. She marries him because... well, it's a good match and she thinks it will be enough. He marries her because she is beautiful and spirited and will make a good wife.
They spend their honeymoon getting to know each other and things go really well - until Shandal's mistress makes a surprise visit.
Ashley is perhaps a bit forgiving, but not the worst I've seen.
