Cecilia Bassingwaite isn’t your typical Victorian lady. She’s desperately waiting to become a full-fledged member of the Wisteria Society, a society for lady pirates. Currently, she’s a junior member. However, Cecelia has completed all the necessary achievements for full membership. She even has an assassin after her.
But the society doesn’t want to give her membership because of her family. Her father is one of the greatest villains. Morvath killed her mother and the society has never forgiven him. Before they can explain their thoughts to Cecilia, Morvath kidnaps the entire society at one of their meetings.
Now Cecilia’s forced to team up with her charming would-be assassin and rescue her aunt and the other ladies. Surely when she rescues them, they will have to admit that she’s just as ruthless as they are.
THE WISTERIA SOCIETY OF LADY SCOUNDRELS is a fantastical historical romance, complete with pirates, theft, kidnapping, flying houses, and stolen kisses. Cecilia refuses to back down and is determined to save her friends at the society. She puts up with her quirky aunt and all her aunt’s advice. Readers will enjoy watching her succeed almost as much as they will enjoy the banter between Ned and Cecilia.
A prim and proper lady thief must save her aunt from a crazed pirate and his dangerously charming henchman in this fantastical historical romance.
Cecilia Bassingwaite is the ideal Victorian lady. She's also a thief. Like the other members of the Wisteria Society crime sorority, she flies around England drinking tea, blackmailing friends, and acquiring treasure by interesting means. Sure, she has a dark and traumatic past and an overbearing aunt, but all things considered, it's a pleasant existence. Until the men show up.
Ned Lightbourne is a sometimes assassin who is smitten with Cecilia from the moment they meet. Unfortunately, that happens to be while he's under direct orders to kill her. His employer, Captain Morvath, who possesses a gothic abbey bristling with cannons and an unbridled hate for the world, intends to rid England of all its presumptuous women, starting with the Wisteria Society. Ned has plans of his own. But both men have made one grave mistake. Never underestimate a woman.
When Morvath imperils the Wisteria Society, Cecilia is forced to team up with her handsome would-be assassin to save the women who raised her--hopefully proving, once and for all, that she's as much of a scoundrel as the rest of them.
