melissa (USA: MI) (2007/09/21):
Nicholas Calloway, a bounty hunter, rancher and single father of yet another rugged cowboy, travels to England to sell Severn Manor. As a boy he lived there as Nicholas Windermere, son of His Grace, the Duke. Banished from the Manor at the tender age of 8 with his mother for her alleged affair, of which Nicholas was the result, they made their way to America, where his mother had to resort to prostitution to keep food in their bellies. Some 2 dozen years later, a proper English gentleman shows up at Nicholas' ranch, letting him know that he is next in line to inherit, not only the manor, and the tenants, but the title as well. He figures to sail over, sell the place and have enough to support himself and his son for years to come. But of course complications arise. The wife of the former Duke(Nick's deceased cousin) is running the show. Duchess Daisy can barely tolerate this cold barbarian and his American ways, but in order to save her precious Manor and the tenants that live there, she will make the supreme sacrifice and marry the beast, hoping to convince him not to sell. A second storyline keeps it interesting, as there is a bit of a mystery, surrounding the parentage of Nicholas. Is he really the Duke, or an illegitimate heir. He has got his hands full with the feisty Daisy, and the search for his real father. But will the results keep him there on the beautiful land he was born, or will he sell out and leave Daisy and the tenants to fend for themselves.
