[Lady Clara Fairfax] ──(Seeks Independence)──> [Legal Career / Charity] │ │ (Family Pressure) (Needs Assistance) ▼ ▼ [Arrogant Aristocrats] <──(Clash & Chemistry)──> [Oliver Radford]

Rupert is a "difficult" duke—a man who is charming but often deemed reckless and irresponsible. Olympia, on the other hand, is pragmatic and often underestimates her own allure.

The title is ironic: dukes say they prefer blondes, but Oliver (who is not a duke) sees Clara’s mind first—and that’s what makes the romance so satisfying.
