Because let’s face it, corsets are tight, but his emotional repression is tighter.
Which dashing and emotionally unavailable gentleman is destined to ruin you in the most delicious, slow-burn kind of way?
a. A grumpy, widowed duke who’s sworn never to love again
He growls, scowls, and broods by candlelight. Society says he’s cold. You say he needs the right woman to show him how to feel again. And that woman is clearly you. Bonus points for secret piano playing or hidden poetry.
b. Your childhood friend turned scandalous rake
He used to pick flowers for you. Now he ruins reputations with a wink and a waistcoat. But when he looks at you? That rake façade? Cracked. He was always yours, and you were too blind or betrothed to see it.
c. A wounded soldier with a tortured past and soft eyes
He’s seen war, loss, and more pain than anyone should, and now he’s back, a little broken, a little brooding, and a lot in love with you. He doesn’t say much, but when he does? It’s usually “You make me feel like a man again.” Cue swooning.
d. A charming scoundrel who flirts like it’s a full-time job
He has a dangerous smile, a gambling problem, and probably owes money to someone titled “The Butcher.” But somehow, you’re the one thing he won’t risk. Unless it’s to win you. In that case? Let the scandal begin.
