I've read this book twice and STILL can't remember the name or author. MoC, h propses to H because he needs money, she has it but no prospects because of unsightly birthmark she always covers with a veil. He helps her learn to accept herself and get out of her isolation, and also finds her brother who thought the h had died in childhood.

Hi agreads,

Someone to Wed by Mary Balogh (11/17) [ A Westcott Novel - 3 ] (B+ Warm)

A very practical marriage makes Alexander Westcott question his heart in the latest Regency romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Someone to Hold.

When Alexander Westcott becomes the new Earl of Riverdale, he inherits a title he never wanted and a failing country estate he can't afford. But he fully intends to do everything in his power to undo years of neglect and give the people who depend on him a better life. . . .

A recluse for more than twenty years, Wren Heyden wants one thing out of life: marriage. With her vast fortune, she sets her sights on buying a husband. But when she makes the desperate -- and oh-so-dashing -- earl a startlingly unexpected proposal, Alex will only agree to a proper courtship, hoping for at least friendship and respect to develop between them. He is totally unprepared for the desire that overwhelms him when Wren finally lifts the veils that hide the secrets of her past. . . .

That's it! Thank you! Do you know, I saw that book when I was scrolling through the library ebooks tonight and kept right on going. "I read that title already." 😀

Glad I could help, agreads. For all my efforts to put tags on the books, I had a time locating this one myself. Immediately thought it was Mary Balogh but I couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Wasn’t tagged under “A Birthmark”... that would have been too easy and made too much sense! Then thought it might have been Jo Beverley or Mary Jo Putney, but no. Had so many “Marriage of Convenience” books. But what finally got me where I needed to be was thinking the hero needed to marry for money.

The tag I had on it was “Birthmark on Face” but since it wasn’t easy to find in the gazillion tags I’ve come up with, didn’t immediately see it. Anyhow, sorry for the long ramble but your search became my search in earnest. And you can be sure I’ve got it tagged with everything I could think of now.
