Cecilia Bassingwaite belongs to The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels.

Yet this is no ordinary Victorian lady's society . . .

Full of pirates, thieves and ne'er-do-wells, these women spend their days pickpocketing and blackmailing their way around the country all before their afternoon tea.

But when Cecilia meets Ned Lightbourne her world is set to change forever.

Because he's a paid assassin and she's his next hit.

Under the employment of the dastardly Captain Morvath - who wants to rid the world of these Lady Scoundrels - Ned knows he has one job to do.

But when he lays eyes on the feisty, beautiful Cecilia he's faced with a conundrum:

Does he kill her . . . or fall in love with her?

Bridgerton meets Peaky Blinders in this swashbuckling tale of scoundrels and society, crime and crumpets. As these enemies turn to allies and might just fall in love along the way . . .

As much fun as the English language will permit -- New York Times Book Review
Melds the Victorian wit of Sherlock Holmes with the brash adventuring of Indiana Jones . . . A sprightly feminist tale that offers everything from an atmospheric Gothic abbey to secret societies -- Entertainment Weekly
A joyride of a debut . . . As if The Parasol Protectorate series met The Princess Bride and a corseted Lara Croft: Tomb Raider -- Kirkus Reviews
With secret identities, secret doors, and secret histories to spare, this high-octane layer-cake of escapism hits the spot. -- Publishers Weekly
If books are truly a portable magic, then The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels is a satchel full of powerful spells and glittering fairy dust -- Lynn Painter, author of Mr Wrong Number
The most delightfully bonkers historical fantasy romance of 2021! I enjoyed every absorbing moment -- Jen DeLuca, author of Well Played
The most charming, clever, and laugh-out-loud funny book I've read all year . . . India Holton's utterly delightful debut is pure joy from start to finish. -- Martha Waters, author of To Have and to Hoax
India's debut is charming, clever, action-packed, with masterful bantering-while-dueling choreography: it reminds me of The Princess Bride, except swoonier and more fantastical. It's an instant beloved favorite. -- Sarah Hogle, author of You Deserve Each Other
The perfect diversion for a rainy afternoon with a cup of tea. What fun! -- Manda Collins, author of A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem
