Duty forces him to take on the pirate code, but honor brings him back.

Prudence, Duchess of Blackmoor, has one desire—to be happy again. After struggling to overcome the horrifying death of her husband, she accepts an earl’s offer of marriage, confident she’s taking a step in the right direction. But demons, refuse to die, and Prudence finds herself caught in an intricate web of deceit that threatens the very foundations of all she holds dear.

Tobias, the Duke of Blackmoor, crosses the line when an assassination attempt on him fails. To restore the reputations of friends under attack by the same villain, and ensure his wife’s safety, he stages his own death, becoming The Black Regent, a notorious pirate bent on brandishing justice, never thinking he’d survive. But to his amazement, he has, and now the darkest-kept secrets are not worth losing the duchess his wife has become.

“I enjoyed Ms. Bone’s story and look forward to more from this talented author. She has a way of bringing the Pirate to life right in your home.” ~Robin, Romancing the Book

“The first chapter starts with a bang! And their journey continues with twists and turns, to create a delightful journey of passion. I love very much Ms. Bone’s captivating stories. I strongly recommend her books!” ~ Nicole Laverdure

“…fun to get this romp of a story not to be taken seriously that gave a wink toward the gothic novels of old with swoony romance, dastardly danger, and black-hearted villain. I’ll have to check out more of the author’s work.” ~Sophia
