ELOISES STORY
Sir Phillip knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so hed proposed, figuring that shed be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage. Except . . .
she wasnt. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her
. . . and more.
Did he think she was mad? Eloise Bridgerton couldnt marry a man she had never met! But then she started thinking
. . . and wondering
. . . and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match.
Except . . .
he wasnt. Her perfect husband wouldnt be so moody and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London gentlemen vying for her hand. But when he smiled
. . . and when he kissed her
. . . the rest of the world simply fell away, and she couldnt help but wonder
. . . could this imperfect man be perfect for her?
