The Pirate's Duchess: A Regent's Revenge Novella - Plot & Excerpts
Trewman’s Exeter Flying Post has learned that the CONTRABAND exceeds all expectation, and if Lady O.’s speculations are correct, the find will surely lead to the CAPTURE of that devil, the BLACK REGENT, before he and his crew attack again. ~ Trewman’s Exeter Flying Post, 28 March 1809 Tobias surveyed the open, grassy terrain of the Downs. It really was a strategically sound location for a duel, and it made sense that so many were fought here. He joined his hands behind his back and paced before his second, his childhood friend Lord Algernon Barrett. Underwood would come. Tobias was sure of it. It was only a matter of time. Earlier this morning, Markwick had revealed that the marquess expected his son to deliver the killing blow, which made it all the more important for Barrett and Lords Thaddeus Standeford and Frederick Landon to witness the event. Like him, they’d borne the consequences of Underwood’s greed. Barrett’s father, the Marquess of Eggleston, had taken his own life rather than face financial ruin, and Landon’s father had died mysteriously after refusing to partner with Underwood during a dinner with the marquess.
