A Week to Be Wicked: A Quaint Seaside Resort Holds Secrets of Love and Adventure for a British Officer in this Regency Historical Romance Novel (spindle cove Book 2)

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller

When a devilish lord and a bluestocking set off on the road to ruin . . . time is not on their side.

Minerva Highwood, one of Spindle Cove's confirmed spinsters, needs to be in Scotland.

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
to convince family and friends they're "in love"
to outrun armed robbers
to survive their worst nightmares
to 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.

Uma semana para se perder conta uma história com personagens cativantes, saindo dos próprios casulos e encontrando afeto e amor. A inteligente Minerva busca reconhecimento científico e deseja apresentar sua descoberta -- um fóssil raro -- a um simpósio de geologia na Escócia. Para livrar sua irmã de um relacionamento com um homem que ela considera hostil e de péssimos hábitos, Minerva se dispõe a entregar o prêmio em dinheiro para este homem, desde que deixe sua irmã em paz. O que Colin Payne não esperava, no entanto, era se encantar perdidamente pela mulher.
