He’s the star of a hit reality show – but will he meet his match with Adonis?
The Grecian by J.O. Mantel releases on October 9th!
FREE with Kindle Unlimited

Twelve countries. Twelve men. Twelve million dollars!
Six months.
Thatโs how long Deacon Brady has been playing the game of the worldโs most eligible bachelor on the new hit reality show, Tainted Love.
This time, his journey takes him to Mykonos. The land of Greek Gods, sparkling azure water and mouthwatering Greek men. Itโs there where he meets his next bachelor, Adonis.
Remembering his time in Greece after filming, Mamma Mia! Deacon once again, finds himself surrounded by the hits of ABBA, for an all new bachelor edition of the hit musical.
The director Dante has a way of putting a twist on things when it comes to remakes and ratings. Of course for Deacon, that means not everything goes according to plan.
Adonis is the competitive one, with his Olympic sized… games. He may very well be the one that pushes Deacon to the limit, which could cost him his reputation, the game and the twelve million dollars heโs been working so hard to win.
Heโs tried to keep his distance, and broken promises, but Dante keeps throwing new obstacles his way. Deacon is finding it more and more difficult to stay focused, especially when it comes to Adonis.
With his sister Kateโs health deteriorating, Deacon begins to lose all hope that he can keep his promise to her and carry on with the show until the very end.
When tragedy strikes, not once, but twice, lives hang in the balance and Tainted Love is forced to temporarily shut down production.
Only halfway through the journey, will this be where the final credits roll for Deacon?
Mykonos, Greece – where the music never stops!
