HUGO BLACKTON HAD NEVER been a fan of consequences.
For instance, he’d once had a Physics tutor at Harrow who had
lectured long and hard about cause and effect. About how every action has
an equal and opposite reaction. Hugo had mostly ignored all this, stared out
of the window, and graffitied the corners of his textbooks.
Because to Hugo, consequences had never seemed as inevitable as his
tutor insisted. They could be laughed off. Ignored. One could simply get too
drunk to notice them. Or, failing that, leave the country and escape their
reach.

These tried and tested techniques had served Hugo well for almost
twenty-seven years, but now, he had a sinking sort of feeling things were
catching up with him—that even he might be subject to the laws of nature.
Or of society, at least.
It had started with a phone call from his father. Hugo had been in the
Italian Alps, spending a rather enjoyably debauched few weeks with friends
of recent acquaintance. Then his father had called, telling Hugo they had

something important to discuss. And he’d said it in that tone of voice that
had Hugo dragging himself regretfully from a hot tub and the wandering
hands of…Whatshername…and wrapping a towel around his dripping hips,
phone pressed between his ear and shoulder while he tried to hear his father
over the sound of music and laughter.
“It’s best if we do this face to face.”
“Sure. I’ll fly to London.”
“Meet me at Conyers.”

So here Hugo was, in deepest, darkest Lancashire at the family estate.
And his father—the current Earl of Carnford as well as the founder, owner,
and CEO of BlacktonGold, one of the country’s largest asset management
firms—had inevitably gotten held up at the London office by business far
more important than the son and heir he had peremptorily summoned home.
Which left Hugo to endure a week of solitude in the rattling silence of
that enormous house. A week where he had little to do but think about
things he rather wouldn’t. And, even worse, as the days slowly ground by,
he was forced to confront one of the first major consequences of his life. He
was bored. And it was all his own fault.

Normally when he was stuck at Conyers he would go next door and
annoy the Banberry-Thompson sisters. It was a course of action as familiar
to him as breathing. Return to Conyers, walk through the garden to the
neighbouring estate, find a B-T sister, preferably Amelia because she was
easier to wind up, and annoy her. But he couldn’t. Because Cassie B-T was
out of the country, and though he was fairly sure Amelia was at home, he
was too scared to show his face after what he had done the last time they
met.
