What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Miss Charlotte Pettifer belongs to a secret society skilled in a very particular art. That is to say - although it mustn't be said too loudly - witchcraft.
When rumours of the long-lost amulet of Black Beryl start to circulate, it is up to Charlotte to make sure this powerful talisman doesn't get into the wrong hands.
Which is precisely what happens when the evil Lady Armitage gets her grip on it.
When Charlotte demands the help of the rakish pirate Alex O'Riley, they both set off to find the amulet.
But there is one problem - pirates and witches are sworn enemies and to be seen with one would surely break the Witchcraft Code?
And that's before sparks begin to fly . . .
The Princess Bride meets Jane Austen in this joyously romantic caper which follows two enemies turned allies who must uncover a power jewel and may just discover a forbidden love along the way . . .

Critics Review
-
The whimsical worldbuilding forms a perfect backdrop to the angsty couple, and Holton’s winking narration, which puts her in cahoots with the reader, makes her exaggerated characters work. Overflowing with heart, humour, and hyperbole, this clever romance enchants
Publishers Weekly -
Holton provides plenty of chuckles…a fun-filled romp in a topsy-turvy world of corset-wearing, knife-wielding, magic-casting women and gun-wielding, light-fingered, charming pirates
Kirkus Reviews -
Clever word play, delightful double entendres, and adventurous high jinks will delight fans of smart, witchy romances
Booklist -
Sexy, funny, and utterly charming . . . Buckle up, readers, because this is a ride you won’t want to miss
Lynn Painter, author of Mr. Wrong Number -
The League of Gentlewomen Witches has punch and verve, and makes for one heck of ride. It’s romantic, sensual and a lot of fun, too
All About Romance -
A brilliant mix of adventure, romance, and Oscar Wildesque absurdity – one of the wittiest, most original rom coms I have read all year
