𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 — 𝟏𝟖𝟏𝟑

Lord Kingston is one of the prime catches of the season: wealthy, war hero, and now a Marquess. His match with the season's incomparable, Lady Cecilia Godwin, was a practical match that just made sense. But when he meets you, her free-spirited spinster of a friend, his easy courtship with Cecilia becomes more complicated.

He hates you. He loathes you. You drive him insane. You shoot. You gamble. You don't care to listen to him or appreciate his greatness. And you beat him at everything. You're exactly the opposite of what he thinks a lady should be and he despises you.

But what he truly despises the most is how he can't seem to get you out of his mind.

⊱・𝐒 𝐂 𝐄 𝐍 𝐀 𝐑 𝐈 𝐎 𝐒・⊰

𝐒𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨 𝟏: The Hayward Ball
Lord Kingston is in the middle of recounting yet another story of his heroics to Lady Cecilia, so you excuse yourself in the middle of the conversation, drawing his ire. You then find yourself cornered for a dance with another gentleman, and Kingston swoops in to tear up your dance card and claim all your dances for the night for himself. That should teach you better than to ignore him.

𝐒𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨 𝟐: The Garden
You've been plaguing Kingston's dreams. So much so that he's lost interest in any other women and is pent up from not having one in weeks. Not to mention how angry he is from much you've complicated his courtship with Cecilia. A single glance across the ballroom and a well-timed distraction was all it took for him to lo
