Why these tropes fit

Brianna Munro flees Scotland-bound in the night to escape the marriage her guardian has arranged for her. She takes shelter at Castle Glenloch, intending only an overnight stop, but her plans dissolve when she meets Hugh Christie, Laird Glenloch. Hugh senses she is concealing something and is drawn to her; he must convince her he is unlike the men she has known, and that a stormy night together is the start of a lasting connection.
