Hi, I am on a mission to find a title for a family member. I told her
that I could do it!! So far I have had no luck. She is looking for a book
(maybe by Coulter) about 3 sisters who move to london when their parents
die to find husbands for the younger two. But it is the oldest sister who
finds love with a man who says he is her cousin but is not. Does this
ring a bell with anyone? Thanks for your help- I don't know where else to
look!!

This sounds like it could be Scandalous by Karen
Robard. Back blurb courtesy of Amazon:

"When Lady Gabriella Banning receives word that her
half-brother, the Earl of Wickham, has died on his tea
plantation in Ceylon, she faces the reality that she
and her younger sisters, Claire and Elizabeth, are
suddenly penniless. The family's riches will pass to
the next male heir -- a distant cousin -- and the
Banning sisters are doomed unless Gabby thinks fast.

Which she does. Pretending that Marcus is still alive,
Gabby arranges beautiful Claire's London season.
She'll keep up the pretense just long enough for
Claire to marry a fabulously wealthy nobleman. But
when a handsome gentleman arrives at the door and
claims to be Marcus, Gabby's plan backfires. For if
she exposes this mysterious stranger's deceit, she
exposes her own. Bound by secrets and lies, Gabby and
the roguish adventurer strike sparks off each other --
and soon London society is abuzz over the scandalous
pair of 'siblings' who appear to be falling in
love...."
