India Holton Synopses: In The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels by India Holton (book 1 of the Dangerous Damsels series), Cecilia Bassingwaite embodies Victorian decorum by day and daring criminality by night. As a member of the Wisteria Society—a group of high-flying, tea-drinking lady thieves—she enjoys a life of carefully orchestrated heists and socialite antics, all while politely rebelling against traditional expectations of femininity. Life, however, takes a sharp turn when the dangerously charming Ned Lightbourne enters the scene. An assassin tasked with killing Cecilia, Ned finds himself hopelessly infatuated instead, complicating his mission for Captain Morvath, a villainous maniac bent on purging England of “troublesome” women.

Cecilia, who’s no stranger to betrayal or adventure, soon finds herself caught between her attraction to her would-be killer and her duty to protect her beloved crime sorority. With Morvath targeting the Wisteria Society, she reluctantly teams up with Ned to thwart his plans. But in true Wisteria fashion, she’s determined to handle things on her own terms, proving her mettle as both a thief and a fiercely independent woman. Together, Cecilia and Ned navigate airship battles, wry humor, and the murky waters of romance, showing that in the Wisteria Society, femininity and criminality go hand in hand—and that a true Victorian lady never backs down from a fight.

The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love by India Holton is the first book in the Love’s Academic series. Sparks fly in the competitive world of rare-bird watching when rival ornithologists Beth Pickering and Professor Devon Lockley find themselves at odds—and dangerously attracted to each other. Beth, fiercely independent and renowned for her sharp instincts, nearly captures the elusive deathwhistler bird when Devon waltzes in, stealing both her find and her patience. Handsome and charming, he might be easy on the eyes, but he’s still a formidable competitor and, therefore, trouble.

Despite their rivalry, Devon finds himself drawn to Beth’s wit and fierce determination. He’s captivated from the moment he watches her handle the deadly bird with grace and skill. Still, professional pride and past grudges mean he knows better than to get close to her. But when a once-in-a-lifetime contest is announced, both Beth and Devon realize they’ll have to team up to capture the rare caladrius bird and win the coveted Birder of the Year title.

The unlikely pair set out on a madcap, high-stakes journey, where close quarters, comedic mishaps, and a growing conspiracy force them to trust each other—and test their chemistry. With mystery, sabotage, and a hint of romance, Birds of a Feather brings an irresistible blend of adventure and passion, proving that in the cutthroat world of ornithology, anything can happen.
