Why these tropes fit
After being jilted by her fiancé three months before their wedding, Kitty Talbot faces ruin alongside her four sisters, burdened by her late father's gambling debts. Undeterred, she launches herself into the London Season of Regency England with one aim: secure a wealthy husband to rescue her family from destitution. Though neither accomplished nor genteel, Kitty wields her late father's gambler's appetite for risk. Her schemes are thrown into disarray by Lord Radcliffe, elder brother of the fabulously wealthy Archibald de Lacy, who recognizes her as a fortune-hunter and vows to thwart her plans. Their adversarial sparring, marked by sharp repartee and wit, gradually blossoms into the season's most celebrated romance.
