I can’t exactly remember what happens in the book. But all I know is that its a historical romance. The girl has to choose a rich husband in order to support her family. Then she met someone but the man keeps his identity secret for some reason. The man wants to help her to choose a husband but ofc he falls in love with her. Even though he is a nobleman, he keeps it as a secret from her so she doesn't want to be attracted to him. But it's inevitable for them not to be attracted to each other I read this book around the 2010s but it published before 2010s.

Mel, what is the story's time period and location (country/region/city/small town)?

Can you tell us more about the main characters - e.g., rich/titled/poor, job/skills/hobbies, family/friends?

What's the tone - e.g., romantic, angsty, steamy/clean, funny at times, sad/somber?

I actually found it just today! It’s How to marry a marquis by Julia Quinn
