The Chaperon

Settle in with The Chaperon from Mary Kingswood. This unabridged audiobook sits comfortably in Romance and plays straight in your browser.

Mr Leo Audley is rich, handsome and very successful with the ladies – until he meets widow Lucy Price, who isn’t the least bit A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom. Poor and widowed, Lucy finds a post as chaperon to two young ladies while their mother is awaiting the birth of her child. It sounds like easy work, well suited to her sociable nature, but the sisters squabble over their suitors, and there are tensions below the surface of the seemingly happy family. Then there is the charming Mr Audley, who is more interested in flirting with Lucy than in discovering where his sisters have disappeared to. And as for Lucy’s uncle, who lives nearby, she’s quite convinced he is hiding something. Curiosity is Lucy’s abiding sin, and one day it will get her into trouble.

Whether you have twenty minutes or a full afternoon, the player below keeps your place as you go.
