The Pirate's Duchess: a Regent's Revenge Novella
“Lord Underwood has undermined our adventures in copper and tin at Whitechurch, Eylesbarrow, and Mary Tavy. Desperate to recover our losses from those mines, I conferred with several bankers, who agreed selling our shares was in our best interest. To my shame, Lord Underwood bought them shortly afterward and profited £300,000. As a result, my family is penniless and my son will be shunned. Can such a thing be written with decided calm? I cannot bear the shame. There is only one escape: meeting m...y maker, knowing that you, of all capable men, whose authority and power surpass all but the king’s, will ensure our heirs do not fall prey to a likewise scheme.
I beg you, keep our association secret. Do not reveal this letter or the source of the copper ore that Thomas Davis discovered at your estate. If that information was to fall into the wrong hands, I believe Underwood would do anything to claim it, including commit murder.
Allow me, my faithful friend, to close my eyes one last time knowing that you will administer justice and ensure that my son, Algernon, does not suffer my fate.MoreLess
