You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!
This HaBO comes from Nicole, who is hoping to find this historical:
I have been trying to remember the name of a book and the series it belongs to an I cannot for the life of me come up with anything. I remember it being a fairly popular historical/by a popular author, and this is the story of one of the sisters in the family.
The father and possibly an older brother are sailors/pirates/seafaring dude people and she spent at least some of her childhood sailing with them. She remembers a sister and is told that this sister is imaginary, but I believe later realizes that she really does have a half sister that her father and maybe also the brother lied to her about (because it would reveal the father’s infidelity?).
At the end of one of her (acknowledged) sister’s novels, she takes off to go find her missing sister, setting up the next novel, in which she is half of the main duo.
What is this series? I’ve thoroughly forgotten basically everything I ever knew about historicals.
Forget secret baby. What about secret sisters?!

That’s Courtney Milan’s Worth Saga. The youngest sister leaves at the end of After the Wedding to search for the half sister. I don’t think she’s the next novel though.
Bless you, that’s it! Thank you. I even own it, but since the book itself wasn’t currently on my kindle, I couldn’t search for it that way.
Good work, Joyce!
I was gonna suggest some Danelle Harmon, who wrote a lot of pirate romance back in the day.
And if you want real life women who sail, see the documentary “Maiden”, about the first all-female crew to sail around the world in the Whitbred race. It’s inspiring, infuriating, and amazing what those women did. I highly recommend this.
This reminds me that I want to read Theresa’s novel, who I believe is the one to go searching for the sister?
This is the first time I’ve ever known the answer to a HaBO, and I am so proud of myself!!! Wheeeeee! Alas, it had already been solved, but still, good job, self.
