Bridgerton meets Peaky Blinders in the first book of The Dangerous Damsels series - an enemies-to-lovers romance with a fantastical twist.

Cecilia Bassingwaite belongs to the prestigious Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels. Yet this is no ordinary society, as it's full of pirates, thieves, and ne'er-do-wells. These women spend their days pickpocketing and blackmailing, all before tea time.

But when Cecilia meets Ned Lightingbourne, her world is set to change. Because he's an assassin, and she's his next hit. Under the employment of Captain Movath, 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?

About the Author

India Holton resides in New Zealand, where she's enjoyed the typical Kiwi lifestyle of wandering around forests, living barefoot on islands, and messing about in boats. Now she lives in a cottage near the sea, writing books about unconventional women and charming rogues. Think slow burn with sudden explosions. India's writing is fuelled by tea, buttered scones, and thunderstorms. twitter.com/IndiaHolton instagram.com/india.holton https-//holtonwriter.wixsite.com/indiaholton
