A past dispute...
When the irascible Lord Darracott's eldest son dies unexpectedly, the
noble family must accept their estranged Yorkshire cousin as heir

but nothing could have prepared the beleaguered family for the arrival

His clever and beautiful cousin Anthea is sure there's more to the
gentle giant than Hugo's innocent blue eyes and broad Yorkshire brogue
would lead one to believe. But even she doesn't guess what he's capable
of, until a family crisis arises and only Hugo can preserve the family's
honor, leading everybody on a merry chase in the process....
