Description

The family faces financial disaster, social ruin and much more…

When Richard Devlin’s older brother, Vaughn, is imprisoned for fraud, the consequences tear apart the Great Family, bringing ruin and more. Richard’s future is also destroyed.  Penniless and angry, he wanders Europe, until he finds himself in a Paris café watching a pretty singer…

Eve Martel Davies, posing as a café singer called Evelyn, barely recognizes her second cousin. Eve’s family take Richard in, but Eve knows Richard needs more than a warm bed and new clothes. She devises a way for Richard to assist her with her work for the Sûreté, which she suspects will help Richard find himself again.  The scheme involves Eve posing as Richard’s mistress, but the truth is very different…

This book is part of the Scandalous Family—The Victorians. This is the second spin-off series to feature a new generation of the Great Family, who are now scattering across Europe and beyond in search of adventure…and love.

A Sexy Victorian Era Historical Romance

Praise for His Parisian Mistress:

Tracy is a wonderful writer that loves a complicated story. While her stories are true to the Victorian era, she brings so much more to her books.

The characters are full of emotion and suck you right into the story. I love how Tracy pulls the reader into the story and we feel we have a front row seat to the action, and feel all the ups and downs of the characters.

One thing is for sure, this is not your usual Victorian romance. This story has a great, and at least for me, and unexpected plot.

Tracy has a knack for pulling you into a story. Without spoilers, there was one scene where the tension was so palpable, I actually had sweat forming on my brow and I smelled dust in the air.

As always, the story went in directions I never saw coming, having a resolution that was quite well done.

The plot is wonderful and complex, with lots of the details that make these books so fantastic to read.

This is a compelling start to a series covering a new generation of an extended family created by the author.

I am not ashamed to say parts of the book did bring me to tears.

Tracy will forever write the best books.

Tearful. Suspenseful. Romantic.

This is a really satisfying read! There's plenty of substance to the plot and an interesting storyline with intrigue, action and suspense as well as the delicious romantic relationship developed between the two main characters.

Tracy Cooper-Posey has a succinct and yet enthralling writing style that creates such an immersive experience that I feel like I'm stepping into situations right alongside these characters that I am getting to know!

    I was sad to see the end to the Scandalous Scions series. Ms. Cooper-Posey has such an intimately detailed way of writing that you can’t help but become immersed into each story and emotionally attached to the wonderful characters. Thankfully, though, those wonderful characters happened to have a LOT of children whose stories of love and adventure we can discover now, while still catching glimpses of the previous generation, albeit a little older and grayer as time has passed. His Parisian Mistress has a heart-wrenching beginning I was not prepared for. My heart broke for poor Richard essentially becoming a pariah and forced out of England through no fault of his own. I liked Éve from the start. No-nonsense, practical, self-assured and worldly, I found her to be inspirational. Richard and Éve work together in a dangerous undercover operation to disband an anarchist organization. Éve makes Richard feel worthy again and he shows her that having a man by your side doesn’t have to mean giving up your independence. I really appreciate how none of Tracy Cooper-Poseys stories are cookie-cutter-everything-works-out-in-the-end books. Square pegs don’t magically become round to fit in. Yes, they all live happily ever after, but you know there are going to be hurdles along the way, just as in real life. I think that is what makes this series so relatable for me. Long story short: read this
