Bridgerton meets Peaky Blinders in the first book in 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?

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

Reviews for The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels: Bridgerton meets Peaky Blinders in this fantastical TikTok sensation

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 Magnificent in every sense. India Holton's writing is gorgeous and lyrical, her dialogue clever and witty, and her characters loveable and unforgettable -- Raquel Vasquez Gilliland, author of Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything
