What a Lady Requires (The Eton Boys) by Ashlyn Macnamara
Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, and Sabrina Jeffries, Ashlyn Macnamara’s blazing hot novel tells the story of mismatched newlyweds who discover a simmering connection.
Unlike every other proper young lady, Miss Emma Jennings views marrying well as little more than a means to an end. Such a merger would provide her industrious father with social credibility, and Emma with a chunk of her vast inheritance. Emma’s practical views are shattered, however, when her father ties her to the fabulously handsome ne’er-do-well Rowan Battencliffe, a man she loathes on sight—from the smile that promises all manner of wickedness to the way he ogles her with those striking blue eyes.
Deep in debt, especially to his wine merchant, Rowan figures the sooner he gets his finances in order, the sooner he can go back to doing what he does best: burning through ridiculous sums of cash. Which is why Rowan agrees to marry the merchant’s daughter, a prim and proper woman with delightful curves and an ample dowry. But Emma seems to think it’s her business to reform him! Their marriage is a tinderbox—and it’s just too tempting to resist playing with fire.

*I got this book free in exchange for an honest review*
I loved this story. It was fun, exciting, and interesting. I'm a historical fan as it is, but this story was pretty good. I loved seeing the characters thrown together in the way they were. The drama was well played out and not over loaded to the beginning or end of the book. There was great development in each of them. I enjoy these stories. They are always well written and romantic. You see people fall in love with each other instead of love at first sight. One of my favorite historicals.
