Hero of *That Wylde Woman!*
Who is he? Where did he come from? Spending childhood
summers with Great Aunt Suzette, he spoke French fluently and was familiar with
the patois and culture.
Now
an adult during the war with Napoleon, he lived openly in the guise of a
Frenchman, sending messages to the English Regent of French military plans. His
position also allowed him to help those fleeing the war safely leave France and
seek a new homeland in England.
He
is called home by the Regent when his uncle, the Duke of Pangbourne, dies unexpectedly,
leaving him the next Duke of Pangbourne. He meets our heroine at a party when
she bursts into the trophy room where he is hiding out and grabs a sword to
defend herself from an unwanted suitor. The sword wielding woman piqued his interest.
