With this Kiss by Victoria Lynne

I def recommend this book for anyone who enjoys reading books with scarred heroes. The hero got his scars trying to rescue people from a fire set in his home. This has made the hero bitter, but he's not as nasty to the heroine as some "scarred hero stories" guys are. He's educated, can be charming and not too boorish. I liked the heroine even though, at times, she was a little sanctimonious (she writes about the social ills of the time). Even though the hero & heroine marry right at the beginning of the story, there is oodles of sexual tension and steamy scenes without being overkill.
