Never A Frown Inspired by the song "Golden Brown" by The Stranglers ★ ~Volume 1~ Aside from being a skilled modiste in the little town of Isolde—and giving her father and grandfather the best life possible—Esmeralda dreamed of being swept up in a love story so extraordinary that authors would write about it and readers would daydream over it. She had begun to give up on that dream, though, when the Grand Duke of Eldengale unveiled a wonderful opportunity for both the lowborn and highborn. There, Esmeralda met a man who stole her heart: aloof, handsome, and most of all—forbidden. Why forbidden? He was a bodyguard to the son of the Duke—a son who wanted Esmeralda as his wife. But Esmeralda didn’t want that life. She didn’t want to be royalty. But who could she even tell? And how could she tell anyone, when everyone—except the one man she loved—was blinded by the lure of wealth? ★ ~Volume 2~ "Marrying a socially high and wealthy man will save us all from problems." That had always been Mrs. Ashcroft’s teaching to her daughter, Jeanette. She was deeply invested in the belief that wealthy men were the best thing that could ever happen to a young maiden. It blinded Jeanette to the point where she automatically fell for any man—as long as he had money. It wasn’t the best way to see life, especially with someone like Esmeralda as a close friend. Now, at twenty-three, Jeanette is still unmarried. Her mother is growing increasingly frustrated, and Jeanette is tired of chasing wealthy men—especially when they aren’t looking for her. Then one stop at a high-end shoemaker's shop changed everything. He was rich enough. He had a good heart. He was funny, handsome, and could capture any woman’s attention with his wolfish smile. He was Logan—a man who, upon seeing Jeanette, decided he would make her his wife. Only, this Jeanette didn’t have a mind of her own and was still controlled by her mother.
