He promised his mother on her deathbed (or something to that effect) that he would not rest until he had made the man pay. Ash (he hates being called Ashley) has sworn revenge on Lord Rightworth, the man who apparently ruined the family fortune a decade or so back. While some of his actions might be seen as rebellious, he appears to have two healthy brothers between himself and the eldest, who is in fact a duke. He is in no way the heir to anything at all - so the book's title is wildly misleading. You don't actually want to read this book anyway, I promise, so view the spoilers as more of a favour than a problem.Īshley Claughbane is the fourth son in a noble family from the Isle of Man (or Wight - I don't entirely remember, and I can't be bothered to look it up - it's one of those wind-blown islands off the coast of Britain somewhere). Spoiler warning! This review will contain plot spoilers, because for me to be able to work through my various thoughts and feeling about the plot (which was quite dumb), I will need to spoil bits of it.
