Rosalyn Eves's An Unlikely Proposition is a transportive Regency drama, perfect for Bridgerton fans, that captures the sparkle of London, thrill of friendship, and swoon of new love. Eleanor did not come to London to be proper and boring. After becoming a widow at seventeen, she's not looking to remarry quickly, despite pressures from her late husband's nephew, who is keen on obtaining her inheritance. So Eleanor comes up with a plan that includes a fake engagement. But falling for a dashing, quiet man outside of her social circle was not part of the plan. . . Can she survive the Season with her heart and her fortune intact Thalia is determined to begin afresh after a disastrous first Season in London. No romantic distractions, but only her work as a poet and newfound companion to Eleanor. Determined to get her poems published, she struggles to be taken seriously as a writer. As the spring progresses, Thalia does not expect to take interest in a man from her past (a man who is engaged to her employer, no less!), but some feelings demand to be felt even if the timing isn't quite right.
Rosalyn Eves grew up in the Rocky Mountains, dividing her time between reading books and bossing her siblings into performing her dramatic scripts. As an adult, the telling and reading of stories is still one of her favorite things to do. When she's not reading or writing, she enjoys spending time with her chemistry professor husband and three children, watching British period pieces, or hiking. She has a PhD in English from Penn State and lives in southern Utah.
