An Inconvenient Duchess

This is a Harlequin Historical - didn't know that was a thing. Amazon describes the plot as: "Perfect strangers are forced by circumstance to marry after knowing each other for only a day in this fine debut novel by Christine Merrill. Lady Miranda Grey arrives at the doorstep of Marcus, Duke of Haughleigh, within weeks of his mother's death. It seems that his mother felt guilty about her treatment of Miranda's guardian when they were both younger. As reparation, she had arranged to introduce the impoverished Miranda to Marcus as a potential wife. Marcus, who has been widowed for ten years, has no interest in remarrying. However, stormy weather forces Miranda to stay the night unchaperoned at his country estate, so Marcus marries her to save her reputation. Unfortunately, Marcus can be a bit bossy and temperamental, and he has a run-in with his new wife later that night. He takes off for London, leaving Miranda behind, and the marriage unconsummated. Miranda is left to deal with difficult servants, a long-neglected estate, and Marcus' estranged younger brother, who suspiciously returns as soon as Marcus is away. Marcus better hurry home, for his manipulative brother is up to something, and the unsuspecting Miranda - and her virtue - are far too vulnerable." All in all, I say: SKIP IT - I liked the part when she was left at the home and she cleaned and organized, but the rest was boring.
