Lady In Waiting by Kathryn Caskie
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In Caskie's far-fetched second Regency romance (after Rules
of Engagement ), Jenny Penny, illegitimate daughter of an unnamed
baronet, and lady's maid to the two fluttering Featherton sisters,
strives for a life above her station. While wintering in Bath with
her employers, she spends her slim earnings on "earbobs" and
muffs in the town's most exclusive shops. But she also reveals
great skill as an amateur chemist, mixing up gallipots of peppermint
face cream for her employers. The ton's most exclusive ladies soon
discover that this "tingle cream" can be used elsewhere,
and thanks to an underground servants' network, Jenny finds her
discretionary revenue increasing along with her mysterious reputation
as Lady Eros. Then Lord Argyll, a lusty Scottish baron, discovers
Jenny one day as she's modeling a dress for the Feathertons. The
two ladies immediately seize upon a plan to match Jenny to the
Scottish baron, to whom she's introduced as Lady Genevieve. Days
ironing, evenings at balls and nights filling gallipots soon bring
Jenny to the end of her rope. How will Lady Eros, Lady Genevieve
and plain old Jenny Penny finally reunite for one happy ending?
Those willing to completely disregard rigid English rules about
social class will delight in the fairy tale answer to this question.

Book Description
She is Lady Genevieve by day. And Lady Eros by night.
What will happen when he discovers...she is neither?
Meet the matchmaking Feathertons' maid, Jenny Penny, who agrees
to pose as highborn lady to snare the affections of a wickedly
handsome Scottish viscount. But Jenny is hiding an even bigger
secret. She is also the notorious creator of an aphrodisiac cream
that suddenly has all of Society abuzz...and tingling.
Soon her double life is threatened and Jenny cannot help but
wonder if the viscount will still love her when he discovers she
is not the true lady she pretends...but rather a lady's maid.
