The Duke is Mine by Eloisa James
This is the first I read in a "series" of books that are based on or inspired by fairy tales. This one features a character from the Winning the Wallflower novela so I read it first. This one is based on a combination of The Scarlett Pimpernell (which I have not read) and The Princess and the Pea (which I have, but not for many years)
The FMC has been engaged since birth to the heir to a dukedom. Which sounds pretty awesome until you learn that the fiancee is several years younger, several inches shorter and a significant number of IQ points shy of the FMC. So not great, but she seems to have nobely resigned herself to her fate.
Turns out she has a twin sister who has recieved the same "duchification" as her sister the future duchess. So clearly the only suitable husband for her would be a duke. Turns out the duke for her is (1) super hot, (2) totally attracted to her sister, (3) not stupid, (4) tall, and (5) hot. Also as it turns out, the engaged sister FMC is also totally attracted to the hot duke. Because really, who wouldn't be.
There is some secret kissing and other stuff and a war hero and a tall stack of matresses and a daring rescue mission and lots of other good stuff.
