Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas

This book is what made me really get into HR.
Annabelle is beautiful but without a dowry- so no great prospects of marrying into the aristocracy she wants to join. Many want her for a mistress though. Enter Simon, who is not aristocracy, but rich enough to mingle with them.
Annabelle is smart, beautiful, strong-wlled and stubborn. But she's also snobby, as a result of dreaming all her life of joining the "elite". Simon has risen his social status through smart investments and know that the time of the aristocracy is slowly fading and business men like him are accumulating more power. He challenges everything Annabelle thought she knew, including her view of society and him, and in the process, they both become better people.
