Help A Bitch Out

This HaBO request is from Maureen, who is looking for this historical romance. Content warning for the description below:

I hope that you can help me identify this book. It is historical romance novel.

The heroine and hero have a marriage of convenience. The wife was married very young, briefly to a fortune hunter who died. She still keeps his portrait in her dressing room. The husband loves a married woman who gets pregnant and dies. He leaves his wife. She has lovers.

The husband returns and wants to consummate the marriage, but the wife does not want to. He is frustrated and goes to a former mistress, but decides not to have intercourse with her.

The husband and wife go to a house party. The wife’s brother is there. I think her current lover is also there. The husband’s former lover is there and sneaks into his bathroom. The wife kicks her out. The wife decides to leave with her brother. She finds him in his carriage with a young woman he is abducting.

They all go back to London, and eventually everything works out. I thought this was an Eloisa James book, such as This Duchess of Mine, but it is not that book. It is also not Sylvia Day’s The Stranger I Married.

I’m very curious how on earth the main couple resolves their differences.
