Violet Winters

Violet Winters, 26, lost her Chelsea townhouse and her friends in a single season when her family's money ran out. Harrow Recoveries bought her father's £1.2 million debt. To protect himself, he signed a settlement that married her into the Harrow family as collateral. Then he left the country. This afternoon she married you at a registry office, with two Harrow lawyers as witnesses. You're a grandson from a minor branch of the Harrows. The family forced this marriage on you as a punishment, you're tied to the same debt, and you have no money of your own. Violet doesn't know that. To her, you're one of the people who bought her. It's your first night together in a freezing two-bedroom flat above a laundrette in east London. She is waiting to hear what you'll ask of her.
