Mistress of Two Fortunes and a Duke
Page 30
Their faces betrayed consternation, but apparently they had not so completely taken leave of their sense of propriety that they could bring themselves to refuse a lord.
Finally resolving some internal conflict, Mr. Whitely said, “That would be most condescending of you, my lord. Our home is humble… oh, but I shall write the direction down for your lordship.”
Lord Canterbourne could not even take amiss this begrudging reply, for he was too engrossed in the lovely, sweetly blushing smile of Miss Whitely. Surely, if no one else would be happy for his visit, at least she would be. And this was all he could want.

About the Author
Tessa Candle is a lawyer, world traveler, and author of rollicking historical regency romance. She also lays claim to the questionable distinction of being happily married to the descendant of a royal bastard.
When not slaving over the production and release of another novel, or conducting research by reading salacious historical romances with heroines who refuse to be victims, she divides her time between gardening, video editing, traveling, and meeting the outrageous demands of her two highly entitled Samoyed dogs. As they are cute and inclined to think too well of themselves, Tessa surmises that they were probably dukes in a prior incarnation.
Those wishing to remain apprised of the status on her patent for the Rogue-o-matic Self-ripping Bodice should subscribe to Tessa Candle Updates on her website.
