    About this series

    Miss Metis Seabourne flees scandal and humiliation for a Continental sea voyage... and quite happily gets herself kidnapped by privateers.

    On board the Caliban, Metis finds a new family of misfit, piratical rogues including the handsome Captain Bones and his dazzling first mate, Calypso. She ditches the teagowns for britches, and learns to feel capable rather than ladylike. For the first time in her life, she is free to be herself.

    Her old world, of house parties and magical croquet, returns with a jolt when the crew of the Caliban join a caper with a runaway queen and the mysterious Isle of Dream with its mermaids, sea witches and whimsical wild magic. Caught between two people she loves, Metis must learn to be braver than she’s ever been before.

      Juno’s old curse has come back to haunt her... literally. After two blissful years of ghost-free marriage, the spirits have come knocking at her door again. Her late mother-in-law the Duchess has taken possession of her home, and her late husband is obsessed with solving his own murder. To top it all off, her current husband has disappeared on a mission so dangerous that it might make her a widow all over again. Most noblewomen get to put their feet up during a first pregnancy. Juno has a ship to commandeer, a mystery to solve, a husband to rescue (and another husband to exorcise) and a royal disaster to prevent. And she’s going to do it all with a horde of ghosts closing in around her, insisting she pay attention to their problems. How else can she prove herself worthy of the title Duchess of Storm?
