Why these tropes fit
Regency romance set in England. When her stagecoach overturns, Judith Law is rescued by a rakish stranger with whom she shares one night of reckless passion before departing to serve as a paid companion to her wealthy aunt. The same man, the rebellious third son of the powerful Bedwyn family, subsequently arrives at Harewood Grange as a suitor for Judith's cousin, throwing the household into scandal. Though they shared no vows, neither forgets that night, and when Rannulf proposes a marriage of convenience to resolve the scandal, Judith flatly refuses him in either love or wedlock. Rannulf is left to wage a deliberate campaign of pure pleasure to win the heart of a woman whose status as a companion places her far below his social rank as an eligible English aristocrat.
