Hello!
I’ve been reading these excerpts on Instagram of books that are through those dumb apps that make you wait two days between each chapter or pay like crazy to read. I’ve gotten hooked without being able to finish any story.

The Sweetest Oblivion- by Danielle Lori- arranged marriage but to the heroine’s sister. Loved it! Not necessarily what she’s asking for but if she hasn’t read it I think she’ll like it.
Sparrow- by LJ Shen… also another good one! Arranged marriage and there is another woman involved with the hero.
Something Wonderful by Judith McNaught. An old school historical romance where a rake meets a young woman and is smitten with her. But they’re caught in a compromising situation and he’s forced to marry her. He leaves her in the country and when he returns, she tries to win him over.
