Three for Brighton

When Constance and Felicity find that their father's death has left them without so much as a penny, they are forced to ask their cousin, Regina, for help. She used to live with them, as something of a poor relation, but now, thanks to her job as a companion, she has the only money between the three. The three strike out for Brighton, Regina searching for her long lost father and the sisters hoping to find a good match for Constance. Regina disguises herself as an elderly widow, to avoid scandal and Felicity disguises herself as a preteen girl to save Regina the expense of presenting two young ladies...without the raised eyebrows. Everything is going well until a handsome lord becomes intrigued with the mysterious "widow" and follows her...uncovering the fact that she is a young beauty. He confronts her, but keeps her secret to himself...and thus a secret romance begins. But the lord does not pursue Regina as he would wish to because he mistakenly assumes the man she is searching for is her husband. Meanwhile Constance falls head over heels for a dashing, but penniless military man and Felicity meets the man of her dreams, who thinks that she is only a child and overlooks her in his pursuit of her beautiful sister. It is a funny, yet romantic book and fans of Martha Kirkland won't want to miss it.
