The Bachelor Chronicles

Erin is a reporter writing a "Guide to Rich Bachelors" series of articles that explores Portland's richest and handsomest men, all in the hopes of being recognized as a full-fledged writer. But the men she interviews are a bunch of worthless, arrogant womanizers. Just like her ex-husband was. The last interviewee for her series is Jared Warfield, a difficult man to get along with who despises the media, and who wears expensive brand-name shoes and watches. Of course. And yet...he's also a man who adopted and is raising the orphaned child of his late stepsister. Do such incredible men really exist?
