A sharp, cynical look at the business of modern companionship and the walls we build to survive.

LOS ANGELES, CA — Riversong Books, an imprint of Sulis International Press, is proud to announce the forthcoming publication of Non-Millionaire Seeking Soulmate by Azalea Dolan. A biting and atmospheric work of contemporary fiction, the novel delves into the life of Olivia, a woman who has turned the male desire for validation into a calculated, profitable enterprise. Through a narrative that is both elegant and acerbic, Dolan questions whether anyone can truly remain a competitor in the “game” of love without eventually becoming a pawn to their own human weaknesses.

The novel follows Olivia as she navigates high-end country clubs and mahogany bars, expertly mirroring the desires of wealthy men who are “desperate, not for love, but for the feeling of mattering to someone else”. Mentored by the enigmatic Monty, Olivia views her work as a necessary form of control—a way to avoid the sentimental “vinegar” that soured her mother’s life. However, her carefully constructed world begins to tilt when she encounters Colin, a man who challenges her ciphers and forces her to wonder if she is missing out on the very connections she has spent years dodging.

“I love playing games. Riddles, mysteries, whodunits,” says author Azalea Dolan through her protagonist, Olivia. “Men created the industry, I’m just self-employed”.

Non-Millionaire Seeking Soulmate is a character-driven exploration of power dynamics, emotional labor, and the lingering shadows of familial trauma. It is an ideal read for fans of literary fiction who enjoy sharp social commentary and complex, morally gray protagonists. The manuscript weaves a tale of “smoke and mirrors,” tracing a journey from the transactional streets of the city to the quiet, unbothered beauty of the American southwest as Olivia eventually seeks a “normal” that isn’t defined by the men she serves.

Publication Date is April 18, 2026. Preorders begin April 4.
