This collection gathers the stories of those whose lives have touched Emma and William as the two take strides toward a future they can share together. From the daily trials of the Mölders family and staff to the beginning of William''s unusual friendship with Hakim, these chapters serve to flesh out the world of Emma. When this volume draws to a close, will the maid and the gentleman have become simply the Joneses? The moment of truth arrives in the final volume of Kaoru Mori''s award-winning Emma.

Emma and William meet at the Crystal Palace to finally spend an afternoon together, testing their delicate feelings for one another, despite the fact that their different social statuses mean their love is forbidden. Will they be able to put their feelings aside for the sake of social acceptance? But more importantly, will William''s father...?

With the postmark of Emma''s last letter--and his heart--guiding him, William makes a bold journey across the Atlantic to begin his search for Emma in the town of Burnley in the United States. Even if he finds her among the hundreds of new arrivals from England, the life ahead of them will not be an easy one. The broken engagement of the Viscount''s daughter has set him--and, through him, all of London society--against the Joneses, and it will take time to rebuild those business and social relationships. Even more difficult will be convincing society that Emma is worthy to join their ranks despite her humble origins. With dogged persistence, patience, and a little help from Mrs. Mölders, Emma and William aim to carve out a place in this world where their love can thrive at last!

William struggles with Emma''s departure still, despite his resolve to act as his family expects him. However, an unexpected moment at the opera opens his eyes to the lovestruck Eleanor... Has his heart turned or will a surprise guest at a family party bring back the roaring flames of love?

At the end of the 19th century, the tale of one beautiful Victorian romance draws to a close. As their tale draws to an end, will the maid and the gentleman have become simply the Joneses? The moment of truth arrives in the final volume of Kaoru Mori''s award-winning Emma.

Continue with Emma and William''s story through the lives of those around them -- the young and newlywed Mrs. Stowner''s visit to the Crystal Palace, the healing of Eleanor''s broken heart, and more in this volume to transport you back to Emma''s England!

Not wishing to cause a scandal within the Joneses'' household, Emma chooses to make a clean break from her old life and takes a train to the sea. As chance would have it, Emma finds herself sharing a car with another maid, one who serves at a large manor in the country. A big house bustling with servants seems an ideal place in which to move forward after losing her mistress and leaving her love back in London. Learning the precise dance of domestic service in her new environment is a welcome challenge, but how long can hard work divert Emma''s mind from the longing of her heart?

Choosing love in spite of their difference in class, William and Emma have nothing but turbulent times ahead of them. But in order to pursue their joint future, William must face the Viscount and break his engagement... Surely nothing good can come from angering one of society''s fiercest...?
