Familes are complicated

Luhan has cousins who want to see him married and an uncle who'd like to see him dead.

Ara has a grandfather who refers to her mother as "that fool who married that damned fool" and a grandmother who prefers to view personal propriety as an option.

Luckily for the two of them, they'll soon have each other...

Luhan is in limbo. He is the heir presumptive to the Earl of Newbury, unless the current earl, a widower, can find a bride who will bear him a son. Newbury is in his sixties and somewhat portly, but as an earl he's considered quite a catch. Luhan, on the other hand, is twenty-nine and extremely handsome, but is in no hurry to find a wife.

Ara, a country girl through and through, has received an offer to go to London for the season. The eldest of a family of eight, she knows that a good marriage is the only thing that can save her family from ruins. After a few weeks in town, Ara attracts the attention of the Earl of Newbury. The thought of submitting to him makes her skin crawl, but she is practical and determined to do her duty. Even when Luhan comes on the scene

Will Ara compel to the forced marriage she was expected to or not marry until she finds true love? Read on to unravel the story of Ara

A/N:

My second fanfic :) starring Luhan and Ara

WARNING:  the length of chapters and this story is extremely long. Patience and time is required to finish reading this fanfic :D Read slowly

This story is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud and tug at your heartstrings in equal measures.

If you're looking for something angst/saddist, paranoid fiction, bildungsroman, slice of life or more about maturity, society and real life, I believe my other fanfic "Tears Behind the Veil" would be more suitable for you: ENJOY :)
