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 One:
“Yes, my lady.” He nodded, tapping the side of his nose.
“You were never here. Don’t expect to see anyone else in this weather. You and
your servants will sleep warm and dry tonight.” He pointed to the door next to
the stairs and within easy reach of the common room. “I’ll put you in this
parlor for dinner.”
She gave him a grateful smile. “Thank you. That will be
perfect.”
Susan, one of Brown’s daughters, showed Grace to the large
chamber at the back of the inn on the first floor. She handed the girl her
cloak to dry, then shook out her skirts. “I’ll call for you when I am ready to
retire.”
“Yes, my lady. Anything you need, just pull the bell.” Susan
bobbed a curtsey and left.
Grace glanced around. Although she had stopped here any
number of times on family outings, she’d never spent the night. The inn had
been in the Brown family for several generations. The building was old, but it
was clean and well maintained.
She took a book and Norwich shawl from her large muff before
descending the stairs to the parlor. Although it was early, not much past two
o’clock, Mr. Brown had closed the shutters, and a fire was lit, as well as
sufficient candles to brighten the room.
An hour later, warm and dry, she was engrossed in Madelina,
the latest romance from the Minerva Press. Over the storm, sounds of another
carriage arriving could be heard. Grace lowered the book, wondering who the
newcomer could be.
The inn door slammed opened. Moments later, Mr. Brown’s
agitated tone and that of another man, a gentleman by his speech, reached her.
Her heart skipped a beat. Worthington? Could it really be
him? She hadn’t heard his voice for four years, but she’d never forget it.
