A Comfortable Wife

The fifth book in the Regency series, 1997

Dear Reader,

In writing An Unwilling Conquest, the third book in the Lester trilogy, one character, Philip, Lord Ruthven, positively begged to be made a victim of love. His attitude as displayed in An Unwitting Conquest could not go unanswered-and that's how A Comfortable Wife came about Miss Antonia Mannering was the young lady who had Philip most determinedly in her sights. As a husband. The possibility of love never entered her head-she was far too levelheaded, and she knew Philip too well. She was looking for a husband, and by now he should be looking for a wife-to her, their aims were compatible. All should have been terribly comfortable, except…

What happens when love gets stirred into their equation is told in A Comfortable Wife. I hope you enjoy seeing Philip succumb to a passion that becomes more precious man anything else in his life.
