The Cinderella Deal by Jennifer Crusie - Professor needs a fiance and persuades a sharp tongued wench 4. A Perfect Scoundrel by Heather Cullman - Arrogant rake and shy young woman [warning - major scoundrel] 5. Greek Tycoon, Waitress Wife by Julia James : self explanatory and most Julia James are poor waif vs rich rich guy 6. Something Wonderful by Judith Mcnaught - innocent country girl marries rich and powerful Duke 7. The Wood Nymph by Mary Balogh - h pretends to be poor but is daughter of Earl 8. The First Snowdrop by Mary Balogh - Rich viscount marries and dumps young country girl 9. Slightly Dangerous by Mary Balogh - Cold Duke invites h to be his mistress 10. Silver Lining by Maggie Osborne - very poor plain prospector is married to rich handsome husband who doesn't want her [awesome book!] 11.
