Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, as Sir Phillip had learned from his communication with the distant cousin of his late wife. Consequently, he had proposed to her, expecting that she would be modest and humble, and maybe even a touch anxious for a marriage proposal. However, she wasn't. He couldn't resist giving her a kiss when the stunning lady on his porch finally stopped chatting long enough to shut her lips. She was everything from silent.
It was impossible for Eloise Bridgerton to wed a guy she had never met! But then she began to wonder and ponder, and before she realized it, she was traveling in the middle of the night in a rented carriage to see the guy who she thought may be her ideal match. However, he wasn't. Her ideal spouse wouldn't be so erratic and rude. Furthermore, he ought to have brought up the fact that he had two little, very mischievous kids who needed a mother just as much as Phillip does.
