Book 1 The Regent’s Revenge
A suicide in
1806, a vow to his father, and an assassin’s attempt on his own life in 1807
compel Tobias Denzell, the sixth Duke of Blackmoor, to abandon his beloved wife
Prudence and assume a false identity. The Black Regent, a notorious smuggler
and pirate, allows him to protect his wife, assist those who have suffered
devastating losses at the hands of a greedy swindler, and helps out-of-work
miners in Exeter, England. His sole aim is to bring about the downfall of the
Marquess of Underwood, a curmudgeon obsessed with wealth who will do whatever
is necessary to acquire others’ inheritances.
For two years
Tobias attacks Underwood’s ships until he is on the verge of bankruptcy. But
then his wife decides to marry Underwood’s son and shows her future father-in-law
a survey map of the Blackmoor estate. It shows the location of a rich vein of
copper – a fact that puts Prudence in grave danger. Once Underwood gets his
hands on her dowry, her worth will be nil. The only way to save her life is for
Tobias to come back from the dead, but she may never forgive him for betraying
their love. Not to mention that his sudden reappearance will endanger his life
since Underwood will assuredly attempt to murder him again, and someone may
connect him to the Black Regent, which will earn him the hangman’s noose. The
lynchpin in his plan to finally bring about his nemesis’s downfall and keep
Prudence safe requires the help of Underwood’s son, but Tobias is no longer
certain he can trust his longtime friend…
This historical
romance novella is the first volume in a new series, Regent’s Revenge. Bone’s imagery is vivid and readily transports
readers back to the 19th century, and her characters are memorably drawn. It is
a short, fast-paced read with only a small portion of it taking place on a
ship, but it adeptly sets the stage for future adventures.
