Colin Sandhurst, Lord Payne, a rake of the first order, needs to be anywhere but Spindle Cove. - - These unlikely partners have one week to fake an elopement, convince family and friends they're in love, outrun armed robbers, survive their worst nightmares, and travel four hundred miles without killing each other. All while sharing a very small carriage by day and an even smaller bed by night. - - What they don't have time for is their growing attraction. Much less wild passion. And heaven forbid they spend precious hours baring their hearts and souls. - - Suddenly one week seems like exactly enough time to find a world of trouble. And maybe, just maybe, everlasting love.
