    Summary

    Do you ever wonder what life would be when it’s all over?” she’d asked Cressida one afternoon. They had finished their work early and were now helping themselves to the leftover bits from the strawberry jam.

    Cressida remained silent. She did wonder how things would be. Papa would be back home, along with his business partners and their never ending lines of sons she “really must meet”. She’d have to go back too, say goodbye to Mrs. Bridgerton and the farm, say goodbye to Eloise and the futures she’d written down in her journal.

    Creloise but its 1940s England and Cressida has been conscripted to work on the Bridgerton farm.

    Summary

    She tucked the letter carefully into her coat, hands trembling slightly. She could see the edge of the woods now, and the crooked chimney of Whipps Cross rising just above the trees, silvered in the faintest blue of night.
    Eloise held her breath. Cressida Cowper was somewhere inside that house.
    And Eloise was about to change both their lives.
    The carriage pulled to a stop.

     

    Or, the one where Eloise climbs through a window with a makeshift rope and a terrible love letter, hoping she’s not too late as she steals away the bride on her wedding day.

    Summary

    If you had asked Eloise Bridgerton to name the thing she least wanted in all the world, it would be the thing she has now promised to do: escorting Cressida Cowper to the furthest extremity of the kingdom so she can be married to an old man utterly undeserving of her.

    Summary

    Eloise Bridgerton is trapped in an ice house with the most awful person in the world. The most awful person in the world isn't Napoleon, but the insufferable, vain, and extremely rude Cressida Cowper. Unfortunately, the confined space seems to be having a strange effect on both of them. Eloise can't really explain why what happens next happens next, but nor can she stop thinking about it.
