Why these tropes fit
In this Regency-era romance, spirited spinster Eloise Bridgerton accepts a practical marriage proposal from Sir Phillip, a moody, ill-mannered man she has never met, and impulsively travels alone at night to meet him. Arriving at his home, she finds him rough, rugged and handsome, very unlike the polished London suitors she left behind. As they spend time together and share kisses, Eloise gradually wonders if this imperfect man might be her perfect match.
