BLURB:
In
the first book of her dazzling new series, bestselling author Ella
Quinn introduces the soon-to-be Earl and Countess of
Worthington--lovers who have more in common than they yet know. The
future promises to be far from boring…
Lady Grace Carpenter is ready to seize the day--or rather, the night--with the most compelling man she's ever known. Marriage would mean losing guardianship of her beloved siblings, and surely no sane gentleman will take on seven children not his own. But if she can have one anonymous tryst with Mattheus, Earl of Worthington, Grace will be content to live out the rest of her life as a spinster.
Matt had almost given up hope of finding a wife who could engage his mind as well as his body. And now this sensual, intelligent woman is offering herself to him. What could be more perfect? Except that after one wanton night, the mysterious Grace refuses to have anything to do with him. Amid the distractions of the Season he must convince her, one delicious encounter at a time, that no obstacle--or family--is too much for a man who's discovered his heart's desire…
"Oh, the tangled webs we weave…especially when our hearts are involved. Three Weeks to Wed is a delightfully heartwarming escape into the sparkling world of the Regency. Ella Quinn weaves magic." --Cathy Maxwell, New York Times bestselling author

Excerpt:
Rising,
he donned his dressing gown, walked down the corridor, then opened
the door to her chamber. Empty. Nothing to even indicate she’d been
there.
The
clock on the mantel showed five o’clock. He went back to his room
and tugged the bellpull. In a few minutes, the boots brought hot
water for him to shave.
Matt
waited until the water was poured into the basin. “The lady who was
here last evening, is she downstairs?”
“I
donno, my lord. Ain’t seen no lady,” the lad mumbled, and left.
Matt
finished dressing and descended the stairs. His groom, Mac, was in
the common room eating. “Where are the others?”
Mac
finished chewing and swallowed. “Gone, my lord. Their coach ain’t
in the yard.”
Something
wasn’t right. Why would she have left and not told him? “Be ready
to leave in half an hour.”
He
looked around for the landlord and, not finding him, entered the
parlor. Covered dishes set on the table, with one place setting. He
wished he was sharing the meal with her and conversing as they had
the night before. Hell. He wanted to be in a warm bed with her next
to him.
Mr.
Brown knocked on the door before entering. “My lord, you was
wishful of seeing me?”
Finally,
Matt would get some answers. “Yes, I want to know the lady’s
name.”
The
innkeeper opened his eyes wide. “What lady, my lord?”
Matt bit
the inside of his lip and tried to keep from losing his temper. “The
lady who was here last night. The one I shared dinner with.”
The
landlord started backing out of the parlor, shaking his head.
“Weren’t no lady here, my lord.”
