The Glitter and the Gold

THEY'D BEEN MARRIED UNDER FALSE PRETENSES. NOW IT WAS TIME TO SET MATTERS TO RIGHT.

Fanny and her groom had been tricked! Both sets of impoverished parents had decided to recoup their families' losses by marrying their offspring to the progeny of a "rich" neighbor. The truth, however, was that neither family had a penny to its name.

Charles was not the dark rogue of Fanny's girlish fantasies, but he was chivalrously determined that she should meet someone more appropriate than he. And for her part, Fanny wanted Charles to find the woman of means who would be the answer to his prayers. Yet as each one set out to find someone for the other, both were left with the strangest sensation -- that quite possibly, true love might have nothing to do with riches...
