Sure, there are the tensions of circumstance – the bad fathers exerting pressure all around, Lord Montford with his creepy controlling ways, and the usual regency society frowning upon anything errant.

She experiences the more risqué side of adult London, and he experiences an uptick in his gentlemanly value. ![]() Naturally then, Kieran Ransome trades giving Celeste some freedom to experience life before her betrothal for her assistance in making him respectable and eligible for society marriage.

As a result, all three men, or rather rakes, are saddled with getting married or being cut off by the Ransome patriarch.
