  All the characters and scenes in this book are a work of fiction,
  unfortunately, because who wouldn’t want the Duke of Devenish to be real?
  Sadly, any resemblance to real persons, either living or dead, is purely
  coincidental
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  DEDICATION
  
  
  This one is for Dr Birgitta
  
  because she realised I was a slacker
  
  the day she met me,
  
  called me out on it, and
  
  then inspired me to be better.
