A Match Made in Duty | 
pickThe Heroine: Sophie Wilkinson - her cousin has tossed her out and instead of setting her up with genteel employment, her fallen brother's friend has decided to honor his promise to marry her.
The Hero: James, Earl of Exmoor, was jilted by his beautiful fiancee when he returned from the Napoleonic Wars heavily scarred, but Sophie has no interest in a marriage as a business arrangement nor in letting him stew in self-pity.
Charming, though short
