Lord Patrick's Heir

Who will be the next Earl?

When the Earl of Aylesford is killed in a riding accident, they have to wait for his child to be born.

If it's a boy he will inherit. If not the title goes to Lord Patrick's brother Martin, but he is in America and has not been heard of for some time.

The next heir is cousin Etienne.

Then Martin's wife and son appear, saying Martin is dead.
