Why these tropes fit

American heiress Daisy Bowman, the last unmarried Wallflower, is given a deadline by her father: find a husband before her third London season ends or be forced to wed Matthew Swift, a man she detests. Refusing to accept defeat, she sets out to marry anyone else—only to discover that Matthew possesses unexpected charm and a chemistry she cannot ignore, transforming her hatred into love. A scandalous secret then threatens to undo them both.
