Beautiful Tempest Chapter One IN THE LARGE TOWN house on Berkeley Square,
Georgina Malory entered the dining room to join her husband for lunch. The
twins, Gilbert and Adam, had just left the room, their empty plates still on
the table, and raced past her on the stairs. At fourteen, the boys still
hadn't outgrown running to wherever they were going. She'd given up scolding
them for it. But now her mind was on her husband and his impending voyage,
which she hoped wouldn't commence before the end of the Season. So with one
brown brow raised, a habit she'd picked up from him, and in a tone nearly as
dry as his usually was, she said, Another ship? Really, James, wasn't one
extra ship enough? James Malory looked abashed for the briefest moment when he
asked, How the deuce did you find out about that? Your newest captain came by
this morning with the message that he would be away for a few days to visit
his family. He needs to inform them he has one more voyage to captain before
retiring as they had been expecting him to do. James crossed his arms over his
wide chest, but he was grinning now. I can be persuasive as you well know. He
was selling his ship. I wanted him and his crew with it. But you already
bought a second ship. Contingencies, m'dear. In case I need to leave without
your brothers. Georgina tsked at her husband as she sat down next to him. You
mean you hope for any excuse to do just that. Nonsense. As long as I don't
have to endure their company for the voyage, I'm quite willing to accept their
aid in this endeavor, even if they're offering it only because their darling
niece was used as bait and they want revenge for that. Now you do them a
disservice. With the Kidnapping foiled and the culprit's demanding you in
particular as the ransom, d'you really think they would just shrug this off as
being over and done with and not give it another thought? When it could happen
again? When I would be devastated if it happens again? Yes, yes, I was
listening when you insisted we can't just let this go. I even understand why
you won't let me accompany you this time. But then she laughed. But seven
ships, James? It might be eight. Nathan Tremayne has also volunteered his. She
gasped. Don't you dare drag him away from his honeymoon. Well, that's putting
the cart before the horse, so don't you dare depart England before we see
Nathan and Judy married. Bite your tongue, George. Watch Tony give away the
bride when he doesn't want to? I bloody well wouldn't miss that. Your brother
agreed- Under duress, James cut in. But you know how Ros can be, not to
mention Judy when she puts her foot down. He was quite outnumbered in the
matter of his daughter marrying Tremayne. You don't object to a smuggler in
the family? James chuckled. Ex-smuggler, but I confess it was lonely being the
only black sheep. She grinned. I think I can safely say you still reign
supreme in that regard-and you loved every minute of your notoriety, don't
deny it. He didn't. The ten years he'd spent as Captain Hawke, gentleman
pirate, had been among the best times of his life. In either case, Nathan's
offer was appreciated, but I already intended to decline and my third ship is
a ready excuse to do so. Don't want to ruffle Nathan's feathers when he can be
so touchy about his welcome to our family. I suppose your three ships are
already crewed and ready to sail at a moment's notice? Well, after this third
captain returns. Of course. As are Warren and Boyd's ships, and yours.
