Comment on how you think a post-apocalyptic Regency would work to win a free copy of Dark Inheritance: Fallen Empire (e-book world-wide or print shipped to USA/Canada only).
Regency Slang:
You've been told to stow your whids, so what do you do?
Find a boat
Hide your valuables
Be quiet
Travellers in Regency days often met bridle-culls. What's a bridle-cull?
Some weird thing to do with a horse
Murdering all the horse tack
Highwaymen
If someone asked you to give them your famble, what would you do?
Eye them strangely and quietly move on before they rob you
Nod politely and hope they don't expect more
Shake hands with them
You've been asked to give someone a sow's baby. What do you hand over?
A baby pig
A prostitute's baby
A sixpence
Grayson, once the Baron of Harwich, sought only to protect his
people. Rescuing a half-dead woman was not among his plans. But
something about her pulled at him. Perhaps it was her beauty, still
evident beneath the pallor of loss. Perhaps it was the recently fired
rifle at her side. Or maybe he simply tired of death. All he knew was
that the plague had taken too much already. He couldn’t let it take her
as well.
Lady Juliette Adair had been ready to die with her brother. She
didn’t expect to be shown mercy in a world that had no room for mercy.
When Grayson saved her, she questioned his motives but soon found
herself intrigued by him, drawn to him.
Societal rules were a thing of the past, dead along with the ton.
Juliette had no manner by which to measure her growing closeness to
Grayson any longer. But when she discovers he may not be the man she
thought she knew more is at stake than just her heart. The secrets she
carries could make a king or destroy one.

About K. Reed
Romance author with a twist.
Too many post-apocalyptic stories, movies, and what-ifs crowded her
head, and K Reed decided to do something about it. So she plotted one
out, decided an historical post-apocalyptic romance was the way to go,
and wrote that one instead.
A lover of all things historical, of strong heroes with equally strong
heroines, and of sexy pirates, she’s going to explore the dystopian
world of plague-ridden 1804, the luxurious grandeur of the Edwardian Era, and the gritty criminal element of Victorian
England.
Luckily she has an understanding family, supportive friends, and a day
job that offers her the flexibility she needs to plot, plan, and write.
Sure, one day she’d like to travel the country in search of fantastic
storylines and great locale pictures, but for now she’ll stick to the
east coast and the internet.
