Jo Beverley's "Forbidden Magic"
Did not finish. The premise was very interesting - a marriage of convenience where the bride and groom had literally not set eyes on each other before the wedding. The heroine's constant state of nervousness about something she felt she had to hide at all costs from the hero (who was delightful) was pretty annoying, but what finally made me abandon the book was the point where plot elements like pedophilia (the "philia" part is a complete misnomer), rape, flagellation and murder almost submerged the love story entirely. I've read romances where one or more of these events occur, but child rape is too far out in left field for me in a romance book.
