He's tall and drop-dead gorgeous, with sandy hair and dark brown eyes. He's a meticulous dresser with an upper crust accent. He drives an indecently expensive car, and yet he tries to pretend that he's not the 13th Earl of something-or-other and seldom visits the family pile of rocks in Cornwall....
