Books like A perfect gentleman by Candace Camp

Graeme Parr, Earl of Montclair, bound himself to a marriage of convenience when his family’s fortunes depended on it. He pledged that his union with American heiress Abigail Price would be merely in name. Abigail, believing her new husband to be a noble rescuer, was spurned on their wedding night and fled back to New York. Years later, Abigail returns to London, a spirited and sophisticated woman far from the shy girl he remembered. Drawn to her beauty yet alarmed by her bold American ways, Graeme follows her through the city’s ballrooms and taverns, trying to understand her motives. Torn between attraction and suspicion, he wonders whether she seeks his downfall like her father, or if her true wish is to win his love. The novel explores the clash between English aristocracy and American modernity, the complexities of arranged marriage, and the enduring power of unexpected romance.
