The Constant Companion (Coventry Romances #83)

âI am Miss Lamberton. Miss Constance Lamberton. I hoped that you would employ me as your companion.âSo it was that quiet, reserved Constance came to the household of the haughty but beautiful Lady Amelia. She would serve as the ladyâs chaperone throughout the Seasonâs many festivities, finding herself an unwitting accomplice in Lady Ameliaâs scheme to trap the very eligible Lord Philip into marriage.But it was not Lady Amelia who won Lord Philipâs heart. It was the pale, golden-eyed Constance herself. And very soon, Constance became Lady Philip Cautry. It was not a marriage made in heaven, but surely in timeâ¦And then Constance disappeared. Lord Philip didnât know how or why. Nor did he care. All that mattered to him was the safe return of his beloved Constanceâ¦ABOUT THE SERIESDetermined heroines run the gamut from those who set out by running a confectioners sweet shop to others who are willing to disguise themselves as boys to get by and do what they have to do. Whatever the matter, the Regency series brings us heroines of style, grace, and determination - women who are not afraid to use their smarts to seek the stature or standing they feel they need. They may come from humble beginnings (or not, depending) but what these heroines share is a determination unmatched that leaves us turning page after page as we follow them in their dance.ABOUT THE AUTHORFrom 1977 to the early 1990s, Marion Chesney wrote over one hundred romance novels.
