An emotional, marriage-of-inconvenience, rags to riches romp from a New York Times bestselling author:
Disguised as a country miss, Charlotte Devon flees London, desperate to leave her tattered reputation behind. In Scotland, her estranged father’s noble blood will finally make her a respectable debutante. Except she finds herself accidentally wed to a devil-may-care rogue with a sinful smile. He’s the last thing she needs…and everything her traitorous heart desires.
Charming rake Anthony Fairfax is on holiday to seek his fortune…and escape his creditors. When an irresistible Lady Luck wins him in a game of chance—and a slight mishap has them leg-shackled by dawn—the tables have finally turned in his favor. But when past demons catch up to them, holding on to new love will mean destroying their dreams forever.

when two seemingly very different people fall in love
I thought that this book was a great read!
Michael Wainwright and Camellia Grenville are on the surface extremely different, Wainwright is outgoing and loves pleasure of all kinds, and in his aim to please and be kind he often speaks without thought. Camellia is discreet and proper, not so much out of inclination or that she's naturally like that, but mostly because her sisters are such strong characters that she feels compelled to counteract them through her behavior.
Until Mrs Grenville announces that Camellia is to marry a man she has never even spoken to. This prompts Camellia to attend London's most scandalous masquerade where she meets the mysterious Lord X whom she is instantly attracted to.
Meanwhile, in a show of sisterly loyalty Camellia outwardly detests The Lord of Pleasure, due to his influencing several ladies to withdraw their donations to a school for girls from unfortunate circumstances. Lord Wainwright on the other hand becomes more and more intrigued by the straightforward Miss Grenville..
