Book excerpt: As the first female captain of the Baltmoor Aerial Militia, great things are expected of Letitia "Lettie" Jordan. She's given her own airship, her own crew, and her first official mission. She even has the perfect fiance. Life couldn't be better. Lettie's plans change when she's attacked by Julian Featherstone, a self-serving, womanizing joke of a captain. Playboy Julian seizes Lettie's airship and turns her into a laughingstock. One way or another, Lettie is determined to make him pay. PLEASE NOTE: The Lady Captain is the fourth book in the Belles & Bullets series. Featuring a new cast of characters, it can be enjoyed by readers with no knowledge of the previous books. However, a few characters from the previous trilogy eventually return.
