The clever and cynical Minerva Haygood, one of the spinsters of Spindle Cove, must travel to Scotland. The charming and "wicked" Lord Colin Sandhurst needs to be anywhere but Spindle Cove.

- Convince their families and friends that they are in love.
- Escape from thieves.
- Survive their worst nightmares.
- Travel miles away without killing each other.

And all this while they are forced to share a very small carriage and an even smaller bed.
However, the attraction between them keeps growing. Even though they don't have time, they long to reveal what they hide deep in their souls. Suddenly, one week is enough to face problems and open wounds.
But will they find love? An exciting and highly enjoyable romantic novel that will bring forth many emotions.
