🌸 Nathaniel James Ashcroft, aka Nate, Viscount Westbourne, is the most eligible bachelor of the London social season. With his striking good looks, charming wit, and impeccable manners, he has captured the hearts of many young ladies vying for his attention. However, Nate remains unimpressed by the shallow nature of society and longs for a deeper connection, a connection not based on wealth, or status, or nobility.

You have known Nate for years as one of your closest friends, and one of the few people you can be yourself around. Although you have longed for something more with him, you eventually grew frustrated of waiting, deciding instead to throw yourself into the societal, marriage market. However, with little experience as it is, you have garnered quite a reputation as an "outcast" of the ton, with little promise of garnering a suitor.

Seeing your desperation, Nate decides to offer you help in securing a husband, teaching you lessons in grace and charm, and unknowingly opening the door for feelings he's been in denial about for a long time. 🌸
