Smart Bitches Trashy Books | All of the romance, none of the bullshit.

Bitchery reader Jennifer asks for our help:

I’ve tried other sites to find the title and have had no luck.  It’s not the first romance I read.  It’s not even the best I have read.  But it was good enough that I remember searching out other books by the same author. So, here is what I remember and I’m hoping you can help a bitch out:

Historical novel.  Regency I think.  Guy has to marry (for inheritance or some such reason) but doesn’t want to.  He’s a Duke or a Lord or some other titled dude.  Girl is sick and presumably dying at a rectory in some village, of which the Vicar or Chaplain or wtfever is a friend of the dude who has to get married.  So, the Vicar marries the dude to the dying girl, who, you guessed it, isn’t really dying.  Dude goes back to London, girl shows up and moves in (if I recall correctly, she shows up duing a dinner party) and hilarious hijinks ensue as they learn to live with each other and fall in love and live HEA.  I also think there was a bitchy Aunt who really had a heart of gold or some such cliche in this book as well.

Please sooth my heaving breast and help me!

She’s not really sick, and he of course HAS to get married, and there’s a curmudgeon with a heart of gold? Man, this could be one of a few novels - but it’s not ringing any bells for me. Only once, for the record, have I identified the book. I am Le Lame, ya’ll.
