Why these tropes fit
In Regency London, governess Alexandra Mountbatten accepts an impossible post caring for two wild orphans under the guardianship of Chase Reynaud, the infamous rake and duke's heir who lives by a no-attachments rule. When Alexandra tries to reform him, Chase counters by attempting to give her 'an education in pleasure,' sparking an adversarial attraction. As Alexandra refuses to see him as a lost cause, Chase's emotional walls crumble and he falls hard.
