Lord Bachelor is ONLY a magical $0.99
Happy Monday!
Wouldn’t life be a little easier, if not more interesting, if we all had our very own fairy godmother?
I’d like to introduce you to my debut novel, Lord Bachelor, a fairy tale retelling where the heroine enlists some help from an unlikely source and a few 19th Century legendary characters.
Below is a quick summary of the book:
Lord Bachelor Summary:
In accordance with his father’s will, Edmund has until he turns twenty-six to find a wealthy bride or lose his vast inheritance. To retain his selfish lifestyle, he agrees to join an American dating game show to find the woman who can save him. He doesn’t bargain on meeting Abby Forester, an impoverished, spirited American woman who is content to live out her father’s dreams in his vintage record shop.
With covert intervention from an unlikely source, Abby lands on the dating game show as one of Edmund’s potential brides. As their worlds entangle and love begins to bloom, Abby discovers Edmund cannot marry her and retain his wealth at the same time. Will love keep them together, or will greed triumph and tear them apart.

– Lord Bachelor Exclusive Excerpt –
By reading the excerpt below, can you guess Raify’s occupation? Hint: what’s another way of spelling her name?
Raify appeared to his left, staring into the window with him.
“She’s sick,” she said at his reflection.
“So I’ve heard.”
“Then why are you still here, Lord Rushwood? It seems to me you’ve always had someone take care of you. What do you know of taking care of someone else?”
He lifted his thumb and index finger to massage the bridge of his nose. He understood the woman was only looking after Abby’s well-being. However, Raify’s strange interventions were beginning to give him a headache.
“I might surprise you,” he said, continuing to carry on the conversation as she did, in the What Goes Around shop window.
“I cannot be surprised, my lord. I can only be educated.”
He laughed at her response and then shook his head. “And how do I proceed to educate you, madam?”
“Prove your worth.”
He laughed louder this time. “I am a lord with a manor valued—”
She clapped her hands to silence him.
“Your worth to another human being, not yourself.”
He’d no sooner taken a pressing breath when the air changed direction and the locks clicked open. Just as before, he turned to find himself alone, without the woman beside him. Rattled by Raify’s presence and sudden disappearance, he hesitated to enter the store. One day, he’d figure out what made her such an unearthly being. For now, he let himself inside, closing and locking the door behind him before slowly walking up the stairway and into Abby’s room. He found her with her face down, lying sideways across her futon bed. She had a thick white towel draped over her head and a humidifier humming beneath her face.
He moved nearer and said close to her ear, “Abby.”

“A modernly jocular mix of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ & ‘Cinderella’ – Passionate salsa, pot full of drama, loads of humor, a whisper of magic, little angst, a dash of heartbreak and, a heady dose of love.”
