This Rake of Mine by Elizabeth Boyle

Can a kiss ruin your life? Miranda Mabberly isn't so sure. When Jack Tremont kissed her ruining her reputation and ending her engagement, she was more grateful than anything. Sent from town, she eventually made her way back to Miss Emma's as a deportment teacher.
Jack Tremont thought that he was kissing his mistress. But the redhead he barely remembers (he was drunk off his ass)caused his brother (a duke in the widows trilogy)to cut off Jack's allowance. Now he lives by the sea on an estate that he inherited from his eccentric Aunt Josephine.
Twelve years later, their paths cross when Jack is sent to retrieve his niece from the school. He doesn't recognize Miranda but she sure as heck recognizes him. And then recognizes him again when she is chaperoning three girls back to their guardians. Their carriage gets lost and they end up at Jack's estate, much to his dismay. He's been working hard to create an image of himself that makes certain that he gets no visitors.
Unfortunately for both, the three girls with Miranda notice the way that she and Jack have been looking at each other and decide to matchmake. Jack's butler (a former highwayman) seems to agree and Fate intervenes in the form of a road blockage so the two have some time to get to know one another a little better.
