A Lady's Adventure

A Pirate Enemies to Lovers Victorian Romance

A hilarious story full of romance and hijinks, A Lady's Adventure follows along as our heroine attempts to disguise herself as a young man and spend a month at sea, free from societal obligations.

Lady Sophrina Barrows has always been more comfortable with swords and living at sea than dancing at balls and sipping tea, so when her parents are called away and her grandparents insist on trying to marry her off in the interim, she devises a plan to escape London for a month disguised as a cabin boy until her parents return.

Her plan goes awry from the very beginning and she’s thrust into a dangerous adventure with a handsome sea captain who is more enemy than ally. Can they learn to trust each other and work together to escape the pirates intent on taking control of their ship and what will happen if her true identity is revealed?

Interview with the author:

Q. What makes the Best Laid Plans series so special?

A. It’s a mixture of things, I think. I began writing this series for my friends, detailing what zany adventures our daughters might have had if they’d been alive during the Regency and Victorian eras, plus I wanted to create something I’d enjoy reading myself. I usually choose humor and intrigue, so you’ll see those aspects sprinkled throughout the series. I’m also a sucker for love triangles, second chances, enemies to lovers, strong female characters, and friendship as a whole, so if you can also show me character growth along with it, then I’m a happy reader.

As the series progresses through the Victorian period and beyond, the characters change as do the plotlines whether it’s spies, criminals, amnesia, etc. but the strong female characters and hilarious antics continue on in a way that has been extremely entertaining to write.

Q. What order should I read the books in?

A. Great question! There are a few different options, actually. Book 2, A Lady’s Choice, is a prequel and can be read first, second, or even last, although I’d suggest reading it towards the beginning as those main characters pop up in quite a few of the first books peripherally. Book 4, A Lady’s Wedding can be read after book 1, A Lady’s Scheme, or you can wait and read it after book 3, A Lady’s Rake. The rest (so far) can be read in order.
