Daughters Of Fortune follows heiresses and women of means who fall for men from outside their social circles. The four books, published between 2001 and 2004, mix western and Victorian settings with romances that cross class boundaries.
The series captures Lorraine Heath’s transition from purely western romance to the broader historical canvas she would later dominate. The heroines have money and status; the heroes have charm, nerve, and not much else. The resulting tension between social position and genuine attraction drives each story.
