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.

Family Ties

That night, the steak and eggs (my wonderful contribution) were great. But if I didn't know any better, he just wanted to fatten me before eating me, in turn.

The kitchen counter and door to our room proved to be durable that night. As expected of the nation's top construction firm.

We had been tired this week so it wasn't a surprise that we both just passed out after. Though, normally, Lucian's capable of holding on, but tonight, he was out before I was.

Waking up in the middle of the night to pee was an experience. Since I've changed my body clock to be out of here early in the morning, I was reduced to "naps" with how short they were.

But when I tried to walk to the bathroom, I was grabbed by a suddenly awake Lucian.

"What? Why are you awake?" I asked, voice still very unsteady after a night of roughhousing

"Where are you going?" His voice was hoarse but stern.
