My Kingdom for a Title
We interrupt your regularly scheduled blog to beg, plead, and cajole friendly readers for some help with a title. I’ve decided to retitle my first book, and I am title-challenged. Help!! :help:
The tone: light, funny
The characters: Patrick MacEgan, an Irish chieftain
Isabel of Thornwyck, a haughty Norman bride
The scenario: Patrick steals Isabel from her home, kidnaps her to Ireland, and forces her to live in a crumbling fortress while he tries to seduce her. She believes he’s a common soldier and is royally ticked off at him. Even more so when she finds out that 1) He’s really stinking rich and 2) The kidnapping was part of a plot planned by both her father and Patrick.
The title should have elements of any of the following: Ireland references, medieval references, kidnapping, peasant vs. prince possibilities.
Any suggestions??
