Seduced By a Pirate
“The viscount was fascinated to hear that Griffin and James had imported curry and lumber to England, birdcages and silks to Spain.
“So you really weren’t pirates,” he said finally.
“I started out that way,” Griffin said frankly. “I was never the yo-ho-ho, walk the plank type of pirate. But I captured many a ship, took everything of value, and sailed away.”
“You made your first fortune as a highwayman,” his father said, the corner of his mouth twitching. Then: “Was there anything I could have done to steer you into a more ethical profession?”
“I doubt it. There’s no way for an aristocrat to prove his manhood here in England, let alone to win that manhood. My future was handed to me on a silver platter, bound up with a royal patent. I wanted—no, I lusted—to pit myself against other men. To fight.”
His father sighed. He was tall and lean and scholarly by bent.
