All She Ever Wanted
Bridgerton meets The Princess Bride...
Aurelia Danby always loved fairy tales and heroes. But fanciful books made her ridiculous, so they were taken away, leaving her shackled to sensibility and high society.
She would have been hopelessly resigned to being a rich man’s wife were it not for William Kingswood, her handsome and very unavailable neighbor who once saved her life as a child. He's spent the last ten years writing to her of his adventures in exchange for keeping his secret—that while he’s a gentleman, he also rules the Atlantic as the infamous pirate, Captain Copson.
Aurelia is desperately in love with him, but sensible girls don’t fall for pirates. She’s also eager to escape her arranged marriage, and sometimes pirates are a ridiculous girl’s best (if not preferred) option.
When Captain Copson causes an international scandal by stealing Aurelia from her royal fiancé, Aurelia embarks on an adventure to rival her favorite tales, filled with treasure, poker games, mermaids, battles, sea monsters, grand theft, French people, and wild schemes—including thwarting her fiancé who will do anything to get her back.
Aurelia Danby’s heart has only ever belonged to adventure—and her very troublesome captain.

"I'm obsessed with the way this story pulled my heart to pieces! The writing is stunning, the adventure is expertly paced, and the romance had me in an absolute chokehold. I devoured this book!" –Danielle Harrington, author of THE HOLLIS TIMEWIRE SERIES and KEYHOLDER
What's Next?
30 years before the events of All She Ever Wanted...
​
19-year-old Cecily Shoard was imprisoned for a murder she never wanted to commit (several murders, if we're being honest). But instead of being hung, she was sold to the Americas.
​
That would've been all well and good (but not really) had an infmaous pirate not attacked the prison ship and recruited her and the other women on board. Cecily's first order of business: attacking the captain's very handsome first mate, who also happens to be his son.
​
When it comes to Cecily and Jack, hatred is an understatement. But while the rest of the crew and lady prisoners are off cavorting, Cecily and Jack are stuck together and deeply resentful of it. They'll happily kill each other at the first opportunity—regardless of how hard they've fallen.
​
The Worst of Them will be out in late 2025—and it's a duet!
