Why these tropes fit
After the death of her parents, Meredith Burnley has lived a quiet, solitary life caring for her half-sister Annabel. Her peace is shattered when her uncle plots to force her into an arranged marriage with his son to steal her inheritance, so she flees with Annabel to their estranged grandparents' estate. There, the family matriarch schemes to marry Annabel to rakish Marquess of Silverton Stephen Mallory, but Stephen is captivated by Meredith instead, launching a slow seduction as they navigate reignited family scandal and their growing, forbidden attraction.
