In the gaslit glow of Victorian England, where propriety and piracy weave an unexpected tapestry, Cecilia Bassingwaite stands as a paragon of virtue—albeit one with a penchant for thievery. A distinguished member of the Wisteria Society, a crime sorority of genteel ladies who navigate the skies in floating houses, Cecilia's life is one of tea, blackmail, and the pursuit of treasure, all conducted with the utmost decorum. Yet beneath her composed exterior lies a tumultuous past and the burden of an oppressive aunt. Her existence, though fraught with challenges, is delightfully manageable until the arrival of two men who threaten to upend her world. Enter Ned Lightbourne, an enigmatic assassin with conflicting loyalties, and his employer, Captain Morvath, a pirate with a vendetta against the audacious women of the Wisteria Society. When Morvath's sinister plans endanger the very fabric of their society, Cecilia finds an unlikely ally in Ned, whose initial mission to eliminate her evolves into something far more complicated. Together, they embark on a daring quest to thwart Morvath's diabolical agenda, proving that underestimating the cunning and resourcefulness of a lady scoundrel might be the gravest mistake one can make. Amidst flying abodes, spirited skirmishes, and the blossoming of forbidden affection, 'The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels' by India Holton crafts a fantastical historical romance that is as thrilling as it is whimsical, inviting readers into a world where the line between high society and high seas is marvelously blurred.
