The Constant Companion — Marion Chesney

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

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

Hero: Lord Philip Cautry
