'An Arranged Marriage' is the first of Beverley's beloved tales that began her popular 'Company of Rogues' series.Eleanor Chivenham didn't put much past her vile brother, but even she had not anticipated his greedy scheme to dupe a rich earl into mistaking her for a lightskirt! With her reputation in shreds and her future ruined, a defeated Eleanor was forced to agree to a hasty wedding. But marriage to the mysterious Nicholas Delaney was more than she'd bargained for. He doubtless thought the worst of her, but when society gossip soon told her all about his beautiful French mistress, Eleanor tried to act with the cool dignity required in a marriage of convenience. But how long could she hold out against his undeniable charm -- or the secret desires of her heart?

For the sake of family honor, Nicolas Delaney agreed to wed a wronged lady.

This was me at various points in the book when I wasn't Here's the basic story—maybe you'll see what I mean. Eleanor Chivenham is in a bad situation that just keeps getting worse. Before their parents died, her brother Lionel persuaded them to make him her guardian. She can't claim her inheritance unless she either marries with his consent or turns 25 without shaming herself.

She's stuck in his house, with two more years on her sentence, since she’s not meeting anyone worth marrying among Lionel's drunken, lecherous cronies. Which is not to say there've been no offers. Lately, Lionel has been urging her to marry Lord Deveril.

The dude's an earl and all that, but something about him makes her feel like she's got spiders in her drawers. So she said she’d rather die. At the time, Lionel let it drop, but she knows he's not giving up. She's lying in her locked bedroom, wondering what he'll try next, while her brother is 'entertaining' downstairs. A maid scratches at the door and offers her a nice hot toddy to help her relax. You'd think she'd see it coming, wouldn't you?

Lionel and Deveril had initially offered him a pretty young man. But he had his wits together enough to protest that he was a ladies’ man ('was married, you know'). So Deveril offers him the doxy he has waiting for him upstairs. Stainbridge (a/k/a Kit) can't have people getting the idea that he's a Backgammon player, so up he goes. Eleanor tries to protest as the stranger slaps her and demands that she perform.
