Sorry,checked out Piers Anthony but dont think he's the author,there wasn't any fantasy in this one.Possibly the main character was clled Gabriel but i couldn't swear to it!I think he meets a girl who turns out to be his main rivals daughter though he doesnt find out about that straight away.I also think the duelling plays a large part in the story and he is very good at it and consequently feared.Anyway i'll keep looking.Thanks for the suggestion!
