The Rebellious Countess
(2025)(The second book in the Scandalous Sisters series)
A novel by Helene Matheson
He lied about everything—except his desire.
Máira Blair believed she’d married for love. Her new husband, the Earl of Dorset, promised her adventure, passion, and a future filled with dreams. But her honeymoon becomes a nightmare when she wakes aboard a ship bound for war-torn France—and discovers her husband isn’t an earl at all, but a pirate with secrets darker than the sea itself.
Stranded in a foreign port, Máira must summon every ounce of her courage to survive. Yet when the man who deceived her returns to save her—and the missing Earl of Astley—her heart faces an even greater battle. Because Sir Elias Drake may be her captor, her husband, and her ruin… but he’s also the only man who’s ever truly seen her.
Elias married for duty, not love. But Máira’s fierce spirit and fiery touch shatter every rule he’s ever lived by. As danger closes in and the line between enemies and lovers blurs, they’ll risk everything for one final chance—to survive, to forgive, and to claim the love neither of them ever expected.
At sea, in war, and in love—there are no safe harbors.
In The Rebellious Countess, Helene Matheson continues her Scandalous Sisters series with a sweeping tale of passion, deception, and redemption on the high seas. Perfect for readers who crave the sensuality of Lisa Kleypas and the adventure of Scarlett Scott, this story proves that sometimes the most dangerous voyage of all is the one toward love.
