Dancing with Clara by Mary Balogh
5.0
Ms. Balogh's earlier books can be hit or miss, but this one from her back catalog is a delight. Freddie Sullivan is a gambler and needs a rich wife desperately. The trouble is all the heiresses and their mamas are onto him. Clara Danforth is wheelchair-bound due to a wasting disease and cynically decides to marry Freddie; she's rich enough to afford him and wants a handsome husband.
It's a thoroughly enjoyable read. Freddie does have some good qualities and Clara learns to trust her rapscallion husband and herself a bit too. It's not your typical Regency romance which makes it all the better in my opinion.
