Rayne Quindell, a lady or a mystery?

She is different, a good different. An unlady-like different. For at least 6 months a year, away from the eyes of London society, where everything repeated like clockwork, she travels abroad. In a disguise as a travelling painter, of course. 

But, her unknown rival, by the initial B, makes her go crazed to find out who he is. All she knows are his successful businesses in the world, his initial and the faint scent of him on his maddening letters! 

And that one arrogant Lord travelling with her was not helping to keep her sanity with his hawk-like eyes. 

But he was not going to stop her from getting what she wants, an adventure. An adrenaline-rushed, excitement-filled ADVENTURE. With some treasures. Perhaps.

She pulls back slightly, her lips parted, her breath warm against my face. "You're not playing fair," she says, her voice unsteady. "And you think you are?I can't imagine kissing another woman because I've already tasted perfection.I shouldn't be able to have you because your too damn good for me,but you take me anyway and I have no fucking idea why," I counter, brushing my lips along her jaw, her neck-anywhere I can reach.

And quite frankly, you're crossing your limit with me and my patience with you. So from now on, as long as you're with me you'll do as I say.

"Why did you 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒔 me?" I, again, throw a very troubled question towards him. ... "I was doing you a favour there." His countenance suddenly changes as a playful smirk plasters on his face. "You should consider yourself 𝒍𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒚..." "Because many women dreamed to be in your position that day, 𝑹𝒐𝒔𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒆." He smiles and winks, shifting in place as he rests his hands on his hips with his thumbs digging inside the space between the towel and his skin.

The Subtle Art of Love and War by rollenjoy03
51 parts Complete Mature
COMPLETED. MATURE CONTENT. ______________________________________ Stubborn heiress to the Langford fortune has been arranged to be wed to the powerful heir of the Fiennes fortune. Two extremely rich and powerful houses set to be united as one in marriage in six months time. Josephine Langford is as stubborn as a bull and no one can make her change her mind about something she doesn't believe herself, so when her parents told her about being betrothed to another powerful family's heir, she throws a fit and demands that the arrangement be called off. Her parents' refusal to cancel the wedding forces her to take extreme measures. She knows this marriage isn't about love but all about fortifying their family's wealth. She detested this part of her charmed life. Somehow, she needs to find a way to put an end to this medieval arrangement between the Langfords and the Fiennes. She's an extremely private person and with the help of their family's wealth and connections, barely any picture of her and her identity has ever landed in the internet and publications. This gives her the idea to get the full dirt on this Hero Fiennes-Tiffin she is set to marry without him knowing that he is actually put under a microscope. As far as her research goes, the guy is nothing but a ruthless tycoon by day and a complete player by night but she isn't one to judge a person by what the internet or newspapers and magazines say-those can easily be fabricated-whereas if she gets to see firsthand who this guy really is and what possible proofs she can gather to convince her parents to cancel the engagement, it would be the best and really the only option she has. Two months. She has two months to get to know the guy before their wedding is announced to the whole world. Two months of pretension and deception. Two months and she'll finally be free of this madness.

What do you get when you mix a stubborn, beautiful woman with an arrogant, handsome man, and there's already a history between them? The results may vary: intense arguing, lies, hatred, sexual tension so strong, it's palpable. When London Withers' company's latest challenge brought her and her unintentional one night standee together, she doesn't know what to do, how to feel. Of course, she mostly blamed herself for dropping her name in the slot box during a moment of weakness. She should've known the moment would pass. Now, she was stuck, married to a man she absolutely abhorred for two months and a half and she couldn't do anything about it. It didn't help that she had been celibate for nearly a year and that he is still just as sinfully good looking as he was the last time she'd seen him. Will the lies, hatred and the arguing worsen or will everything take a complete turn in another direction, one London never anticipated?

He had that kind of visage that stopped you in your tracks. There was a sudden pose in my natural expression. I gaped openly as I descried his Sharp jaw and cheekbones. Body built like a brick carved to perfection. Dark brows were graceful and neat as I inquired to myself if my features are as perfect as this human. Seriously though who created this bundle of creativity. Bristly coiffured dark chocolate hair sheltering his forehead. With our guns still conical on to each other's heads my eyes escalated quickly keen for his eyes. When they finally encountered, I was met with two blazing alluring hazel eyes gazing right into me, of course, the blush that accompanied me was a dead give-away. I could apprise to the fact that we both nevermore presumed this inconvenient situation thus I did what I had to do. ******************************** A twain of mafia bloodline in aversion for decades.

He usually prefers his employees to be less...bubbly. Energetic. A little more like him, essentially. But there was something about her the moment she introduced herself. Maybe it was the way she looked at him, or the way she smiled at everyone in her line of sight, who knows. But, whatever the reason is, he hates it. He hates that he gave into that feeling when he met her. She manages to find her way into his mind 24/7, unlike any woman ever has. She doesn't think she's ever seen someone as angry at the world as him. He can be rude and he doesn't always think about other's feelings before he speaks. A scowl somehow is always set on his face, like he was born that way. For any other person, a man like that would make you want to simply ignore him. But not her. She has her heart set on making him smile. Even just a little. Maybe even a laugh. And she is not giving up any time soon. It's not hard to tell that two people with personalities like theirs can lead to a dangerous combination.
