10 Ways to Hate Your Husband

-SET AFTER SEASON 4-
Eloise Bridgerton finds herself more alone than ever before. One by one, her siblings and closest friends have fallen in love and moved on with their lives. Penelope Featherington is now married to her brother, Colin Bridgerton. Daphne Bridgerton has her duke, Anthony Bridgerton has Kate, and now even Benedict Bridgerton has found love with Sophie.

Meanwhile, Eloise lingers at the edges of ballrooms and family gatherings feeling like an outsider in her own life. While the rest of society obsesses over romance, she has grown tired of waiting for a connection she no longer believes exists for her.

Then she meets Adrian Valemont.

The Duke of Lockwood is cold, frustrating, and entirely impossible to get along with. Their conversations always end in arguments, and every encounter leaves Eloise more irritated than the last. But after several chance meetings, Eloise realizes something unexpected - Adrian is just as detached from society as she is.

And suddenly, the idea seems almost perfect.

A marriage with no love. No expectations. No pretending to be desperately devoted to one another. Just two people agreeing to share a title and a household while living entirely separate lives.

Certain she will never fall in love anyway, Eloise proposes a marriage of convenience to the one man she can barely tolerate.

To her surprise, Adrian accepts.

But what begins as a cold arrangement slowly turns into something neither of them planned. Lingering looks become late-night conversations. Arguments become tension neither can ignore. And somewhere between quiet companionship and stolen moments, Eloise begins to wonder if the one thing she stopped believing in may have found her after all.
