A New York Times Bestseller 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? and to travel four hundred miles without killing each other while sharing a very small carriage by day and an even smaller bed by night.
