Yours, Until Needed

Born into the Thornhill family, Eliana should have been dealing with succession planning and heiress training. But instead, she’s dealing with the crocodile tears of her cousin Alexa. As if stealing her Fiancé wasn’t enough, she’s out to pin everything onto Eliana. Trust issues - Eliana. Popularity issues - Eliana. Landslide - Must be Eliana. In an attempt to end her cousin’s jealousy-ridden machinations, Eliana is forced into a relationship with a childhood disaster, Lucian Alder Sinclair, her most tempting nightmare. Lucian Sinclair has always been synonymous with perfection, at least to most people. But to his family, finding someone who could handle his aloofness has been the top priority. Forced to return to his home country at the behest of his grandfather, Lucian fortunately encounters Eliana who’s in need of a ready-made partner. Constantly up at each other's throats, then into each other’s arms, may the lies they’ve told hold up against discerning family members and unrelenting pursuers.

Battle Royale [3]

She's been around for so long that it's impossible for me not to know her. We own a chain of Hardware stores, so as one of the biggest construction firms, I'd have to know her too.

In reality, Mr. Sanders knows my parents. But by the time they rose to power, I had already been too busy to attend events with them, so we never personally met.

Most people would classify the Sanders as nouveau riche. This was likely the reason for ranking Lucian as their top marriage candidate; he had the legitimacy of the old rich and a great family history, too.

Wealth was wealth, but in this particular social strata, there were people like the Grants who wouldn't stop harping on the significance of family lineage.

You'd think we're some sort of royalty with how much importance she's putting on that. And Mrs. Grant wouldn't get off Mr. Sinclair's back over it.

"It's been a while, Mrs. Grant. It's good to see you again." I returned her greeting with a polite smile.
