Mary "Jacky" Faber, an orphaned street kid in early 19th century London, begins her adventures across the seven seas by dressing up as a ship's boy. Throughout the series she builds up quite the amazing resume that would put a Navy Seal to shame. And of course, there is a bit of romance here and there but the focus lies on Jacky sailing the world and kicking butt!
From Anna's list on romance featuring tomboys.
An orphan on the streets of London, Jacky soon finds herself playing the role of ship’s boy on the HMS Dolphin. Jacky is, in turn, cunning, wild, bossy, loving, brave, flirtatious, and arrogant.
