Women's Fiction Historical
From the New York Times bestselling author of Orphan #8
comes a fresh and intimate novel about the destructive
power of secrets and the redemptive power of love—
inspired by the true story of Jacob Ruppert, the
millionaire owner of the New York Yankees, and his
mysterious bequest in 1939 to an unknown actress, Helen
Winthrope Weyant. When the owner of the New York Yankees baseball team,
Colonel Jacob Ruppert, takes Helen Winthrope, a young
actress, under his wing, she thinks it’s because of his
guilt over her father’s accidental death—and so does
Albert Kramer, Ruppert’s handsome personal secretary.
Helen and Albert develop a deepening bond the closer they
become to Ruppert, an eccentric millionaire who demands
their loyalty in return for his lavish generosity. New York in the Jazz Age is filled with possibilities,
especially for the young and single. Yet even as Helen
embraces being a “bachelor girl”—a working woman living
on her own terms—she finds herself falling in love with
Albert, even after he confesses his darkest secret. When
Ruppert dies, rumors swirl about his connection to Helen
after the stunning revelation that he has left her the
bulk of his fortune, which includes Yankee Stadium. But
it is only when Ruppert’s own secrets are finally
revealed that Helen and Albert will be forced to confront
the truth about their relationship to him—and to each
other. Inspired by factual events that gripped New York City in
its heyday, Bachelor Girl is a hidden history gem about
family, identity, and love in all its shapes and colors.
