What would an American football star do if he suddenly found himself an English lord? It wasn't something pro quarterback Brant Asher had ever bothered to think abuot -- until the day he learned of his inheritance. He was no Viscount Asherwood, heir to an English estate, and a whole lot of trouble. Brant had inherited the obligation to marry Daphne, charitably described to him as an ugly duckling. This wasn't an attractive prospect for a man who enjoyed the pleasures of bachelor life -- until he met the lady in question. Her reputation was obviously undeserved, because this was no ugly duckling; this was a beautiful swan.
