Miles from anywhere, Darracott Place is presided over by irascible Lord Darracott. The recent drowning of his eldest son has done nothing to improve his temper. For now he must send for the unknown offspring of the uncle whom the family are never permitted to mention. Yet none of that beleaguered family are prepared for the arrival of the weaver's brat and heir apparent ...
Yet again Georgette Heyer shows the qualities that made her one of the most successful and best-loved romantic novelists of her age, and why her popularity endures to this day.
Author of over fifty books, Georgette Heyer is the best-known and best-loved of all historical novelists, who made the Regency period her own. Her first novel, The Black Moth, published in 1921, was written at the age of fifteen to amuse her convalescent brother; her last was My Lord John. Although most famous for her historical novels, she also wrote eleven detective stories. Georgette Heyer died in 1974 at the age of seventy-one.

Hugh was known unaffectionately as "the weaver's brat" and it seemed that the fine old family title was about to fall into as sorry a state as the decaying baronial hall. Summoned to meet the family, Hugh found himself in a thoroughly disagreeable and unfriendly situation-coupled with the sudden discovery of an arranged marriage with a young woman he had never seen. In desperation, Hugh decided to live down to his family's expectation of his crudeness-only to discover too late that his intended was the charming, beautiful Anthea. N° de réf. du vendeur 112904001
