The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy picks up with Felicity Montague, who, unlike her brother Monty, has no interest in grand tours or marriage.

Reading this book feels like embarking on a spirited, fast-paced adventure with a wonderfully sharp-witted friend. It's got a delightful blend of historical charm, laugh-out-loud moments, and a genuinely empowering message about forging your own path.
