Why these tropes fit

Lady Lucie, an Oxford suffragist, leads a band of women attempting to seize control of a London publishing house to launch a political coup against Parliament. Her plans are thwarted by Lord Ballentine (Tristan), her old nemesis and London's 'lord of sin,' who offers to cede control of the publishing house in exchange for a night in her bed. As Lucie and Tristan clash in both the boardroom and the bedchamber, their fierce battles of wills ignite long-smoldering devotion, leading to a delightfully unconventional happy ending.
