Adrianna Moore has just had a double shock: the death of her father and the discovery that he has left his entire estate to his lawyer. The lawyer, a repulsive social climber, tells her that to regain her inheritance, she must marry him A WEEK FROM SUNDAY. Adrianna takes off, driving desperately to a new life. Caught in a violent rainstorm, she collides with an oncoming truck. Quinn Baxter, the driver of the truck, demands repayment for his lost cargo. They reach a bargain: she will live in his home, tutor his bedridden younger brother and play piano in Quinn's tavern to pay off her debt. Drawn to the rugged Quinn, challenged by the interaction with the tavern patrons, she also must deal with an intractable foe--Quinn's housekeeper who is scheming to become his wife. And all the while, the spurned lawyer is following Adrianna's trail, determined to find her and force her to marry him.

From AudioFile:

A cynic might say that what the heroine in this story needs is a good lawyer, not a steamy romance. But lovers of romantic fiction will enjoy this tale of a damsel in distress who is rescued by a brawny lumberjack. The plot is simplistic, but entertaining nonetheless. Characters include some well-conceived Cajun characters whose unique personalities are expertly portrayed by Ren�e Raudman. (My favorite is the slovenly psychopathic housekeeper.) In addition to passionate exchanges, exciting action scenes are depicted, including a knife fight on a staircase. As Raudman's narration builds the suspense, listeners who join in the spirit will be engaged. D.L.G. � AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright � AudioFile, Portland, Maine
