The Golden Girl

Life can change in the blink of an eye. And the past can come back to haunt you. Marguerite-posing as chaperone Lady Marjorie-is forced to return to Torrinni, to meet the man she's been arranged to marry. She's also to accompany five graduates of the academy, to witness Princes Sébastien and Jules in their royal season. Marguerite tries to remain anonymous for as long as it takes, and stay out of reach from Dowager Clémentine-but can she survive the waves of emotions caused by her past as it catches up to her? Can she uncover the identity of the man Clémentine is forcing her to wed before she's been properly introduced to him? Céleste Richel, a junior student of the academy, accompanies Marguerite to learn about etiquette & proper behavior at court. The bookish girl's curious nature may get the best of her, as she investigates the truth behind her favorite book, "The Golden Girl". In doing so, she ventures into dangerous territory; too close to answers she may not be ready to hear. Will she discover if the Duchess of Torrinni is real? And will Prince Sébastien stop looking at her with such familiarity? Schemes and surprises await Marguerite and Céleste as truths unravel all around them, putting in jeopardy not only their livelihoods, but the entire kingdom.
