Going deep...Sometimes the problem isn’t the emotion itself. It’s the point of view. The character sees the room. Hears the words. Notices what everyone is doing. But the reader never quite slips beneath the character’s skin. For more RWI tips, follow me: www.subscribepage.com/c8t2o4 #WritingRomance

Book Cover: Tiny House, Big Fake Fiancé by Sadira Stone.
Text: Love the Only One Bed trope?
Unguarded in sleep, she instinctively seeks me out. And heaven help me, I crave her just as much. More. Or maybe it’s the basic human need for touch that drives her. I’m a fool to think I matter to Lilith. Or Lilah. Whoever the hell I’m sharing my bed with.
