Why these tropes fit
England, 1879. Annabelle Archer, a fiercely independent vicar's daughter and one of the first female students at the University of Oxford, must support the rising women's suffrage movement in exchange for her scholarship. Her charge is to recruit men of influence, and her target is Sebastian Devereux, the cold and calculating Duke of Montgomery who steers Britain's politics at the Queen's command. When a suffragist squad infiltrates his ducal home, Sebastian and Annabelle are forced together despite their opposing views. He is looking for a wife of equal standing to rebuild his legacy, not an outspoken commoner who could never be his duchess—but his feelings for her grow impossible to deny. Caught between rising passion, matched wills, class divides, and political maneuvering, Annabelle sets out to topple the duke.
