    Summary

    Eloise Bridgerton meets a stranger in a café on a rainy afternoon, and something about the encounter feels wrong in a way she cannot name.

    Phillip Crane remembers her.

    At least the last version of her.

    Summary

    Phillip Crane needs a wife. Not because he wants one. Because the family court system has decided that two-parent household is a checkbox, and he has four months before his brother's twins end up with grandparents who never deserved them.

    Eloise Bridgerton needs a husband. Not because she wants one. Because her grandmother's trust has a marriage clause she's spent eight years refusing on principle, and principles are harder to hold when fourteen salaries depend on you and everything you built is at stake.

    They've been colleagues for two years. They know each other just well enough to end up at the same bar after a bad meeting, and just honest enough, after two drinks and a long night, to say the thing neither of them meant to say out loud.

    The math, it turns out, is simple.

    Everything after that isn't.

    Summary

    Phillip Crane has attended every Bridgerton wedding. He has held his tongue at dinner tables, driven to emergency rooms at three in the morning, and sat in the back of ballrooms with a woman who argued, loudly and with complete certainty, that marriage was a trap she wanted no part of. He never argued back. Not about that. Some things, he figured, were better left to time.

    Companion Piece to In Plain Sight.

    Summary

    Sir Phillip Crane came to London with a list, a plan, and the reluctant assistance of the ton's most celebrated matchmaker. He had thirty-two successful matches worth of expertise at his disposal. He had a perfectly reasonable set of expectations. He was going to find a wife, return to Romney Hall, and never think about any of this again.

    He was nearly certain of it.

    He did not account for Miss Eloise Bridgerton.
