Making the best of a bad situation, Anthea Darracott was civil to her newly-met cousin Hugh-but barely. But his sense of humor makes it impossible to resist playing the ill-bred yokel of the Darracotts' worst fears. Hugo is actually very, very rich and was raised to be a credit to both sides of his family. The family members are ordered to lick Hugo into shape for his new status. The new heir is Major Hugo Darracott, “that damned weaver's brat” from the Yorkshire wilderness. Yet none of that beleaguered family are prepared for the arrival of the weaver's brat and heir apparent. He also summons his bickering descendants to the rundown family estate. For now, he must send for the next heir apparent-the unknown offspring of the uncle whom the family is never permitted to mention. The tragic accident that killed his eldest son by drowning has done nothing to improve his temper. Irascible Lord Darracott rules his barony with a firm hand.
Miles from anywhere, Darracott Place is presided over by elderly Lord Darracott.
