Introduction
Chapter 1
I am so happy. It is the most important day of my life after all. I am getting married to the love of my life. I am getting married to the only person I loved so much in this world.
I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a long White wedding gown with an umbrella cut and heart shape strapless dress. It was lacey at some parts and the corset I wore underneath the dress made my figure look more good. My light brown hair was down into curls and flower clips were attached to the left side of my hair.
I was completely ready. My make up was done perfectly with shimmery red lipstick and my blue eyes looked absolutely beautiful with the liner that my makeup man applied on me.
I wore a white peeptoes sandal which increased my original height of 5′8" to three to four inches more.
'Oh my God! You look so beautiful Juliette" Kiara my best friend squealed as she took me into a hug.
'Thank you" I blushed as I turned around towards the mirror shyly.
'Aww look at you. Today is your wedding and you are still shying. What will you do in your wedding night?" She elbowed me and made me grow even more red than I already was.
'Kiara!" I shushed her as she began to laugh like a hyena at my expression and hugged me sideways.
'Emmett is just so lucky" she spoke as she looked at me through the mirror.
Her long black hair looked beautiful as she braided it to her side and she was wearing a golden colour strapless gown with red lipstick. Her black eyes looked beautiful with her cateye style and she stood confident with her 5′7" height, wearing her pair of heels. She was a beautiful woman. Kiara Richmond was the hottest girl in the town. She was born to the wealthiest family in New York and lived with her parents in the most luxurious part of New York enjoying her Spinster life. The only thing was she never believed in love.
I wonder sometimes, how we both became best friends. I also belong to a wealthy family just like her but opposite to her I totally believed upon love. I liked to Study when she liked to party. I liked to party when it was exam time when she liked to hide herself from her alcoholic friends studying for the exams. The only thing is after partying so much during exam times I always managed to secure more than her. She was my best friend in College but as well as my best competitor. It was the time of Christmas when I met Emmett for the first time in a party that my parents kept for me as I turned Twenty two. My birthday party. I met him there in the party and instantly, I grew to like him. Soon we began to date and after a year of dating we were in a relationship. After a year he proposed me directly for wedding and me being a lovesick woman said yes to him.
'I believe the one who you will love will be the most Handsome man you would ever meet" I smiled turning towards her to face her.
'Oh not again! Juliette just not today please" she rolled her black orbs while I shooked my head at her childishness. She just never believed in love.
'Juliette!" We both turned towards the door to find Jace peeping his head inside watching us with a smile.
'Come here kid!" Kiara teased him. Jace Swanson was my only brother. He was three years younger to me. He disliked it whenever Kiara called him Kid. Kiara loved teasing him and Jace couldn't stop getting irritated by my best friend.
'Please! I am 21 for your kind information" Jace spoke irritated and Kiara rolled her eyes muttering 'whatever" to herself.
She can be mean sometimes.
'Jacey!" I squealed and ran to hug him.
'Hey no don't touch my hai-" he closed his mouth when I already ruffled his soft black hair which he inherited from my Mom.
'Aww Jacey don't be like that. Today is my wedding" I cooed as I pinched his cheeks.
'Can you atleast act like an elder?" He slapped away my hand and furrowed his eyebrow irritated.
'We just love irritating you Jacey" I pulled him into a hug and he began to resist me but soon gave up and hugged me back tightly.
'I am going to miss you Julie" he whispered into my hair. He was really taller than me which made me really jealous of him sometimes.
'I will too" I whispered as I began to feel little sad that I was going to leave him.
'Come on now everyone is waiting for you" he pulled away from the hug as he cupped my face in his hands and kissed my forehead.
'You look beautiful" he spoke cheerfully.
'Okay guys now don't be emotional. Its her wedding and you will just ruin her make up so hush and Juliette come here" Kiara interferred and asked me to go to her.
I walked towards her and she took the veil from the table and adjusted it on my head covering my face.
'Here!" She gave me a bouquet of rose and I held it and giving a last glance at myself in the mirror I inhaled deeply feeling nervous all of a sudden. I don't know why but suddenly I began to feel anxiety grow up inside me. Probably because of the wedding I thought and shrugged it off.

Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix
Well… Sometimes you just might turn out to be right.
It turns out, the fae stole my little brother. In his place? A pixie with boundary issues and a talent for home repairs.
I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. So when my baby brother is taken, I don’t hesitate. I walk straight into a faerie mansion and make a bargain with its infuriatingly charming master.
Kie is everything you’d expect from a dangerous fae, beautiful, political, and entirely too amused by me. Power wrapped in a smirk. Sensual, mischievous, and far too aware of the effect he has on people. He agrees to help me find my brother.
For a price.
Now I’m bound by a faerie bargain and navigating a world of glamour, manipulation, and ancient rules I definitely should have learned sooner, enchanted forests, political games, magical contracts, and a fae lord who treats seduction like a perfectly reasonable negotiation tactic.
Iron is how I keep people out.
Glamour is how he draws them in.
And apparently, they just don’t mix.
