You don't actually have to read one. It goes like this: (1)young woman alone or orphaned (in tragic circumstances) and who is impecunious and relying on the begrudgingly bestowed largesse, borne of duty, of distant relatives or orphanages to sustain her, (2) takes a job with a seemingly grumpy, sometimes older man of wealth, power and/or position, whose character flaws stem from a bitter prior romance, unyielding demands of family and honor, or some other horrific twists of fate which make him unapproachable and superficially unattractive, as the (3) fur flies between them because there is an unspoken hidden attraction which is masked by mutual dislike for the thorny or cool, as the case may be, exterior personas they each exhibit, until (4)Something happens....like him being threatened with exposure for some crime he did not commit but is covering up to protect someone else, and so (5)They suddenly begin to work as a team and start to realize their heretofore hidden feelings for one another, which culminates in (6)some variation on the bodice-ripping theme, and just when you think they'll live happily ever after, yet (7)another impediment is cast in their paths, which they must overcome, knowing now that they are in love, and are in danger of losing not only their (lives, wealth, etc.) but their potentially enduring love, and so (8) they overcome adversity (somehow), and (9) fade into the sunset, with the implicit suggestion of a happily ever after.
