A Seven Year Hitch by Mary Beeken

Being coerced at sixteen into marriage with a stranger was bad enough but Erica Wilmshurst's problems got progressively worse when the bridegroom disappeared without trace before the ink was even dry on the certificate. Now, almost 7 years later, the documents are drawn up, and she is ready to have him declared dead. She will definitely be dancing a jig on his nonexistent grave before consigning him to history. What better way to anticipate her coming freedom than a house party for close family and friends? But fate intervenes again in the delectable form of the Marquis of Trevellyn who taunts her and tempts her ….. and calls her wife!
