Because You're Mine

Lady Madeline Matthews faces an arranged marriage to an elderly, repulsive aristocrat and plots to escape the match by ruining her reputation. She targets Logan Scott, an acclaimed London theater director and notorious womanizer, intending to seduce him so that society will deem her unmarriageable. Logan conceals emotional wounds from past betrayals, but their deceptive liaison soon turns into genuine and passionate affection.
