Hello. I asked your question on the Romantic Times forum and got this reply:
"Maybe SECRETS OF THE HEART by Mary Balogh? The H is named Sarah and she does wear a blue dress on the cover and yes, she was raped by her cousin."
Here's the synopsis, hoping it will ring some bells:
PASSION BEFORE PRIDE
Theirs should have been the perfect marriage. Sarah was as wildly in love with the Duke of Cranwell as he was with her...until, on their wedding night, Sarah was forced to reveal the secret of her past. And that, midst great public scandal, ended their marriage almost before it began.
Then in fashionable Bath their paths crossed again. The stunningly beautiful Sarah knew it was folly to think this dashing and sought-after lord would ever get over her shocking betrayal. His fury made it painfully clear that they should separate again, this time forever.
Sarah could find a thousand arguments against the wisdom - or likelihood - of so miserable an edict. For one, the duke's ridiculous masculine pride was no match for the sensuous power of her affection for him...as she counted on love to melt the last shred of his resistance to her passionate surrender..."
PLEASE let me know if this is the book you're looking for!
