Mistress of Two Fortunes and A Duke By Tessa Candle

Mistress of Two Fortunes and A Duke is book two in the Parvenues & Paramours series by Tessa Candle.

This is definitely not a typical romance. Candle confronts hard issues in this story such as drug addiction, sex, slavery and the limitations on women participating in “trade” during the late 1700’s to early 1800’s. Mistress of Two Fortunes is a complex tale with vulnerable and flawed characters. Book one was a hilarious romp. Book two plows into deeper issues while holding true to romance. There is some adventure and action in the story. But always with a happy ending. Make sure you read these books as a series. They are much richer that way.
