The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy (Montague Siblings, #2)

by Mackenzi Lee

You deserve to be here. You deserve to exist. You deserve to take up space in this world of men.

“I think I want a house of my own,” I start, the words a discovery as they leave my mouth. “Something small, so I don’t have much housework, but enough room for a proper library. I want a lot of books. And I wouldn’t mind a good old dog to walk with me. And a bakery I go to every morning where they know my name.”

I do not need reasons to exist. I do not need to justify the space I take up in this world.

I want my life to be messy and ugly and wicked and wild, and I want to feel it all.
