Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas

When Evie's friend Lillian was kidnapped by Sebastian, Viscount St. Vincent, Lillian's fiance quickly came to the rescue. Sebastian was just trying to get his hands on a bountiful dowry. Well, Evie has such a dowry and she is in desperate need of a noble husband. Her mother's family won't let her see her father. He's the owner of a lucrative gaming hall but he's also dying and Evie wants to be there for him at the end. Sebastian decides that she's as good a bride as any and they take off for Scotland. 

When they get back, Sebastian immediately steps in and takes over the business. It turns out that Jenner's (Evie's father) business manager has been robbing the place blind and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Evie and Sebastian will have to battle old ghosts, former friends, and a murderous enemy before they can find their Happily Ever After.
