I have been binge-reading regency romance, and besides coming across an actual ‘90% of the conflict centers around two characters not talking to each other’ plot (I had forgotten these existed except as theoretical examples of what NOT to do), I have read about a lot of wealthy, powerful men and the in-financial-straights women who love them stories. Don’t get me wrong, I totally get the appeal of ‘now you have regularly have hot sex with a guy who loves you and now all your money worries are over and you’re LOADED’ as a fantasy, but it has left me DEEPLY craving a story about a duchess who decides to take, I dunno, some hot, broke, strapping young man into her bed. He teaches her about the wonders of life she’s been missing, she teaches him the joy of love-making and in the end, marries him to take him away from his life of toil and strife.
