The Constant Companion by Marion Chesney


This book was funny as I had read it a while back and didn't even remember it. About half way through a light bulb came on that this was somewhat familiar. Guess that tells you how memorable the book was.

"I am Miss Lamberton. Miss Constance Lamberton. I hoped that you would employ me as your companion."

And so the quiet Constance came to the household of the haughty and beautiful Lady Amelia. She would serve as milady's chaperon at the Season's many festivities, an unwitting accomplice in Lady Amelia's scheme to trap the very eligible Lord Philip into marriage.

But it was not Lady Amelia who won Lord Philip's heart. It was the pale, golden-eyed Constance. And very soon, Constance became Lady Philip Cautry. It was not a marriage made in heaven. But surely, in time....


And then Constance disappeared. Lord Philip didn't know why or how. Nor did he care. All that mattered to him now was the safe return of his beloved Constance....
