the story is set in historical England. Its about a girl that lives with her grandfather that I think is a scholar in a village. They have two servants that might as well be her uncles. She is smart and loves to say quotes from famous wise people. She also is a dreamer and loves to fence. Anyways, the guy in the story is selfish and a rake. he was passing by on the road when some thief try to ambush his coach and tried to kill him. she was playing with her gdads old suit of armor and basically saves him. They are sort of compromised so he marries her. she fall in love with him but he doesn't love her only did that to pay back and not lose her virtue. Once in London he is attacked and and sold to traders. everyone thinks he died. he come back from slavery to find that she is going to marry his cousin and that she is a complete beauty. She hates him and wants to leave him because the ton thought she was a joke when she came out after his "death." Because his ex said he thought of her as a burden. Anyways with help from his mother she becomes a lady and a beauty. Every man lust for her. So her cousin (and her bFf) tells her he will marry her so they can have peace.

Not everything matches your description but it does sound a lot like something by Judith McNaught. I'm thinking maybe Something Wonderful
