Swapped Fate by rikaaraji468

No one would expect those of the wealthy high society to mingle with the lowly and poor; not when it's for something as sacred as a marital bond. Lady Fate, however, seems to have differing views when she lands the orphaned Mavis right into the den of high society to become the daughter-in-law of the reputable and esteemed Devereux family. Tristan, her soon-to-be husband, is a cocky and vexatious force to reckon with, whom she constantly butts heads with in a war of words, emotions and actions. But when life-threatening situations are hurled their way and the Devereux family has upon its hands a set of recurring crises, the two quarrelbirds' only way to prevent its downfall might be....togetherness. * Some crossing swords, a bit of firing guns, adequate meeting of eccentric species and races, quite some touring of mystical lands with a heavy dose of the love potion.
