Overview:
Three interconnected novels form a captivating reading voyage inside this elegant 3-book set. The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue follows Monty, a young bisexual British lord, as he travels across Europe on a Grand Tour with his best friend—and secret crush—in a heady mix of danger, humor, and longing. The tone blends swashbuckling escapades with sharp wit, offering a fresh look at friendship, romance, and what it means to claim your own identity in a rigid world. The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy picks up Monty's sister Felicity Montague a year after the grand tour. She is determined to master both intellect and courage: to study medicine, to prove her worth, and to navigate a system that doubts women’s ambitions. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe introduces two teens whose unlikely friendship blossoms into something deeper. Ari and Dante wrestle with family, culture, and the mysteries of growing up, discovering the transformative power of honesty and belonging. Together, these three novels deliver a polyphonic, character-driven experience that satisfies fans of historical fiction, LGBTQ+ storytelling, and tender coming-of-age journeys.

This collection stands out by balancing genres, voices, and eras while placing authentic, memorable characters at the center. Two witty, globe-trotting historical adventures invite readers into lush settings, clever banter, and high-stakes quests, while the third title brings a contemporary lens on identity, friendship, and belonging. Read in sequence, the stories echo one another—Felicity's scientific ambition mirrors the emotional journeys of Ari and Dante—creating a cohesive, binge-worthy reading experience. It’s a thoughtful gift for readers who crave inclusive LGBTQ+ storytelling, sharp humor, and vibrant, character-driven plots. The uniform paperback packaging makes this set display-ready on any shelf and simplifies gifting or collecting for fans and newcomers alike.
