...which were Laura Lee Guhrke's When the Marquess Met His Match (which, incidentally, has some cheeky nods to Pride & Predjudice and Jo Beverley's Seduction in Silk), I've noticed something the plots have in common that pleases me. It is to some degree a spoiler, so I'll put it under a cut:


In both novels, the heroine arguably inspires the hero to defy his vicious, overbearing father because her fiscal independence matters to him.

I'm not well-read enough to know whether this is a trend at all, let alone whether it dates from way back, but in any case, I like it.
