He proposes to Eloise more out of a need to provide his children with a mother who could hopefully control them, rather than any other tender feelings for Eloise or any urgent need for a wife for himself.Īnd when beautiful, intelligent, talkative Eloise just turns up at his door, he suddenly finds his passion rising from where he’d buried it deep within. Not all the imaginative pranks his uncontrollably mischievous twins can come up with can earn them anything more than their father’s momentary attention as well as irritation. Impulsive as ever, Eloise leaves London and arrives unannounced at Sir Phillip’s doorstep.Ī botanist by profession, Sir Phillip is a man who wants nothing more than to be left alone with his beloved plants and experiments. But when her best friend and staunch companion in spinsterhood, Penelope Featherington, ups and marries Eloise’s brother Colin, Eloise feels bereft.
At first Eloise is stunned at this abrupt turn of events.
And one day, out of the blue, Sir Phillip proposes marriage to Eloise in a letter. But she loves her correspondence, and so begins an exchange of notes between these two opposite people. Twenty-eight-year-old Eloise is casually regarded by London society as a veritable spinster. After his wife’s death, Sir Phillip receives a condolence note from none other than Eloise Bridgerton.
