When an unexpected visitor knocks on their door, it turns into an assassination attempt that they must escape. I cannot wait to discover more from this series in the future!Ĭecilia Bassingthwaite lives with her aunt, Miss Darlington. I honestly did not know what to expect when I started this story, but it turned out to be a fun adventure that included an interesting enemies to lovers romance. Their “ships” are their houses that have the ability to move, which gave an unexpected fantasy-like element to the story. Characters that are seemingly demure English women turn out to be pirates, who are land-based and run their households. It is an excellent mix of historical formal society mixed with the adventures of pirates. The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels is the first novel in the Dangerous Damsels series. 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. But both men have made one grave mistake. 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. Unfortunately, that happens to be while he’s under direct orders to kill her. Ned Lightbourne is a sometimes assassin who is smitten with Cecilia from the moment they meet. Sure, she has a dark and traumatic past and an overbearing aunt, but all things considered, it’s a pleasant existence. Like the other members of the Wisteria Society crime sorority, she flies around England drinking tea, blackmailing friends, and acquiring treasure by interesting means. Cecilia Bassingwaite is the ideal Victorian lady.
