His at Night by Sherry Thomas
4.0

Elissande has been caring for her sick aunt for most of her life and her uncle has ensured she has no friends and very few if any pleasures in life, so when, while her uncle is away, her neighbor comes by begging a place to stay for herself and her house party for a few days because her home has been over run by rats she agrees. She also starts to plan to catch a husband so that someone will take her and her aunt away from this abusive situation.
Lord Vere works for the home office(or something like) but he does it by playing the part of an idiot, so when he sees the woman of his dreams he cringes that he has to stay in his roll, but then he figures out that she's husband hunting and is less excited but still can't keep away from her.
This was an interesting story but there is emotional and physical abuse in it.
