I hoped that you would employ me as your companion.'So it was that quiet, reserved Constance came to thehousehold of the haughty but beautiful Lady Amelia. She would serve as the lady'schaperone throughout the season's many festivities, finding herself anunwitting accomplice in Lady Amelia's scheme to trap the very eligible LordPhilip into marriage.But it was not Lady Amelia who won Lord Philip's heart. Itwas the pale, golden-eyed Constance herself. And very soon, Constance becameLady Philip Cautry. It was not a marriage made in heaven, but surely it wouldbe in time.But then Constance disappeared. Lord Philip didn't know howor why. All that mattered to him was the safe return of his beloved Constance.
