The daughter of a squire, Lucy can't believe her good
fortune when their neighbor, Simon the Earl of Devingham,
expresses his regard and offers marriage. Since her father
is ailing, Lucy and Simon have a speedy wedding at his
home. Lucy dreams of building a deep and loving marriage
like her parents. After a passionate wedding night, Lucy
awakens to find her husband gone. All her hopes suddenly
dissolve as she learns that a marriage of convenience is
all her new husband wants.
Simon, Earl of Devingham, puts his poetry and rose breeding
aside and works for the British government. Until recently,
he's used his quiet demeanor to slip in and out of France
undetected. When his best friend, Fox, is crippled saving
his life, Simon takes on Fox's role of romancing secrets
out of women. Leaving his bride in the safety of the
country, Simon returns to London to continue his
assignment. Simon feels quite satisfied with how he's
compartmentalized his life.
After several weeks, Lucy arrives in London, surprising
Simon. Rumors of his carousing with a mistress have reached
her. Lucy will not remain silent and will fight to save her
marriage. Simon has his hands full trying to complete his
assignment while protecting Lucy.
TWO WEEKS WITH A STRANGER is irresistible with an innocent
heroine determined to win the love of her husband.
Secondary characters, the bitter and cynical Fox and Gin
the sharp-witted American, add to the drama and give
sparkle and depth to the tale. Ms. Mullins gives readers an
engaging story.
Wedded and bedded, Lucy is devastated when she's abandoned
by her new husband the very next day. Though it was a
marriage of convenience, their heated wedding night gave
her hope that it would turn into something more. But she
refuses to be the demure bride left behind on a country
estate while the stranger she married goes gallivanting
about London—even if she has to create a scandal of her
own.
Simon, the Earl of Devingham, would prefer his exquisite
young bride remain at home where he left her. Instead, she
follows him to London . . . seducing him with her fiery
kisses, enchanting him with her scorching touches, and
awakening in him an insatiable hunger. His duty to the
Crown demands that he remain in town, but Lucy has entered
a most perilous game—and she will not forfeit without
Simon's total surrender.
