A standalone companion to An Improbable Season, this Regency romance ⁠— perfect for fans of Bridgerton — is about following your heart, pursuing your dreams, and falling head over heels in love.
Eleanor did not come to London to be proper and boring. After the death of her husband and a year of mourning, the seventeen year old wants nothing more than her independence and to have a little fun. She's hardly looking to remarry, despite pressures from her late husband's nephew, who is keen on obtaining her inheritance. Eleanor quickly devises a plan that includes a fake engagement. What's not a part of the plan? Falling for a dashing, quiet man outside of her social circle – a man who is not her betrothed. 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 female 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's An Unlikely Proposition is a transportive Regency drama that captures the sparkle of London, thrill of friendship, and swoon of new love.

      Starred review from January 15, 2024
      Two young women pursue their dreams in Georgian England in this companion to 2023's An Improbable Season. Nineteen-year-old Thalia Aubrey, an aspiring poet who's sworn off love after an ill-advised elopement, has taken a job as companion to young widow Eleanor Lockhart, a post that gives her access to the literary bustle of 1818 London. Seventeen-year-old Eleanor, whose late husband, Albert, was in his forties, values her independence. The terms of Mr. Lockhart's will stipulate that should Eleanor remarry, her inheritance will be passed on to his nephew--who's now endlessly pressuring her to wed. Hoping to put an end to his meddling, she asks Henry, her friend Miss Salisbury's brother, to be her temporary fake fiance--just until she can make another plan. Henry and Thalia have some history, and their feelings for each other grow, even as Eleanor develops an interest in Owen Jones, whom she hires to help her with Albert's advanced mathematical papers. Lonely Eleanor, who has no family, learns she doesn't have to push others away, and that family can be found. Meanwhile, Thalia must fight for what she deserves, both in love and when it comes to her writing. Readers will enjoy this immersive world of etiquette, rules, and social stratification with its satisfying romances in which female independence is not surrendered in the pursuit of love. The central cast is cued white. A charming foray into Regency romance. (author's note) (Historical romance. 12-18)
