Man of Stone

Another old favorite HP of mine. Okay, maybe the heroine is a bit doormat-y, but it's still really good. Luke thinks Sara is no good and is trying to manipulate the old lady that turns out to be a long-lost relative of hers, and is also his great-aunt. Sara is probably one of the nicest people on earth, however. The great-aunt convinces Sara and her young brother to live with her, and of course, Luke moves in to keep an eye on things. He treats Sara contemptuously because of his bad experiences with an ex (he doesn't want to believe that she's as good as she seems). Circumstances happen where Sara goes to his room to talk to him and falls asleep on his bed. The great-aunt discovers her in there, and Luke convinces Sara they should get married so that the great-aunt won't think bad of either of them. Sara thinks it's a marriage of convenience because there's no way Luke could be attracted to a plain Jane like her, but he is so they end up having a real marriage. Of course, Luke is still dealing with his trust issues, and Sara's no good younger sister is no help, trying to make a play for Luke. This is one I've reread more times than I can count. I love this kind of storyline for some odd reason (probably because they are both crazy about each other but doesn't think the other returns their feelings).
