David daydreamed the opening scene of Beauty and the Bastard while lying in bed waiting for sleep to come. He says it was as immediate as watching a movie. It's a short scene featuring a fallen angel called Saul the Bastard, and it imprinted itself on his mind because he felt the angel's private agony. Next morning, he opened a new file and started writing Saul's story.

Saul the Bastard is a fallen angel who works as a bounty hunter for powerful urban demon families. Rebecca Drake, a modern day demon princess, is being hunted by dangerous desert demons. When Rebecca’s family hires Saul to protect her, they are both unhappy with the arrangement, but before long sparks fly as they try to resist their strong mutual attraction. For the first time in living memory, Saul has someone to love; someone he is scared of losing; someone the desert demons have marked to be their next sacrifice.

Beauty and the Bastard is David Bridger's first published book and is published as an e-book by Liquid Silver Books.
