Description
Jack Carstares, the disgraced Earl of Wyndam, left England seven long years ago, sacrificing his honor for that of his brother when he was accused of cheating at cards. Now Jack is back, roaming his beloved South Country in the disguise of a highwayman.
Not long after Jack’s return, he encounters his old adversary, the libertine Duke of Andover, attempting the abduction of the beautiful Diana Beauleigh. At the point of Jack’s sword, the duke is vanquished. But foiled once, the “Black Moth” has no intention of failing again.
“Stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty.”—Margaret Drabble
The swears were borderline. 28 damns, and 30-something “God,” but some of them weren’t necessarily swears. I didn’t count to see if the God swears were 12 or less.
