Her brothers have offered their assistance, and it's given her hope that perhaps there is a man out there who might want her for a wife. But alas, the first man she meets after recommitting to the battle against spinsterhood is reasonably handsome, reasonably naked and completely soaked through and stranded on their front steps.

The Lord's Darling Pirate Queen - A Peter Pan/Captain Hook Retelling
Jane was only six years old when her parents abandoned her at an orphanage. Refusing to let the other forgotten children suffer alone, she became their protector, standing between them and the cruel Matron who ruled with her cane and even crueler hands. When a fire leaves the orphanage in ruins, twelve-year-old Jane takes command of the children she lovingly calls her Lost Ones. Together they escape to sea, where one daring rescue with a grappling hook earns Jane a new name: Captain Hook. Years later, her pirate legend has spread across the seas. But when she and her crew sneak into a nobleman's masquerade, Jane crosses paths with Lord Peter Hawthorne. Their sharp tongues clash before their hearts ever do. But how can a pirate queen and an English lord ever belong to the same world? The Lord's Darling Pirate Queen is a Peter Pan/Captain Hook retelling filled with found family, adventure, slow-burn romance, and the story of the villain who was never meant to become one.

While other ladies spend the season searching for husbands, Julia sneaks into London's notorious gaming hells, chasing excitement instead of propriety. But when pressure to marry becomes impossible to ignore, Julia devises a scandalous plan: if she must wed, it will be to a man who gives her complete freedom. She narrows her choices to two men, the Duke of Wychford and the charming Earl of Tonfield, and fully intends to seduce one of them by hook or by crook.
