Kairie

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.

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.

Nicholas looked calmer than usual, and I guess he managed to take some of that creepy aura he's had since before.
