- All nobles must marry before they turn 30 or will be banished from their home and unable to see their family.
This law I created originally for the 3 Royal Princes who are dealing with a communist upheaval and then how their family took back the throne had a natural end where all 3 brothers found wives. When I started the series it was about these three and these three only.
But then that law from above really hit home for me. All nobles in the kingdom must marry and are on a time limit. Plus I never revealed the matchmaker who created the internet program all three princes used to find their true loves.
And honestly Cassidy Bright, the matchmaker was one of my favorite characters I’ve ever written. She’s funny. She’s intelligent (as her name suggests). And in many ways she’s like Emma in Jane Austen, though she has real world problems. Unlike so many of the Princes of Avce, Cassidy has a bratty younger sister, a mother who loves to shop and a father who has a gambling addiction and to top it off, it’s Cassidy paying the bills. However this doesn’t diminish her belief in true love and happy-ever-after.
And while I called Cassidy’s sister a brat, at least in Cassidy’s worldview, the truth is Chelsea’s just more jaded and worldly than her sister. Chelsea refuses to wear the blinders of her sister and pretend the world is hunky dory when it’s not and she doesn’t believe in true love. She believes she’s lived long enough with her sister footing the bill, and it’s time she does her duty and marries well. However it all crashes apart when her car is totaled on her way to Paris and she’s temporarily stuck on a vineyard with the sexiest man she’d ever meet. The trouble with Alex though is that he isn’t rich and that might destroy her destiny and her family’s need for money. Love is for other people if it even exists.
And I already have a few more nobles in mind for stories to come! With a law that says the nobles must marry before they turn 30, the question this country next to Italy becomes is who is worthy of being a royal of Avce? I can’t stop. This series is almost as addicting to me now as the House of Morgan. They are so different as the Morgans are one family, but rich, entitled, nobles who must marry also really gets me going and makes me want to write.
