Ovnovný Sir Phillip needs a mother for her children and Eloise Bridgerton seems to him best. She believes she's a simple undemanding girl, and because she's an old virgin at the age of twenty -nine, probably just desperately waiting for a marriage offer. But a woman who appears on his threshold takes his breath away. She is not only beautiful but also confident, and if she stops talking for a long enough time to close her mouth, Sir Phillip longs for nothing but kiss her.
