A snippets graphic for the dark romance novel Shades of Grey and Gold on a dark bokeh city lights background with gold and grey quote boxes. Title text in gold reads Snippets. Top left gold box reads: "Are you a morally grey book daddy, Callan Reed?" Top right grey box contains an exchange reading: "And if you don't kiss me soon, I will start breaking every rule one by one until you do." "Is that a threat? I think that's contempt of court." "It's a promise." Bottom left grey box reads: "You can stay here and go back. Or you can stand up, agree to listen to everything I say, and I'll do my best to be the lightest possible shade of morally grey I can be." Bottom right gold box reads: "Always trying to find the humor and be the light. Who's your light, Max?"

This book is for you if you love: a morally grey hero who took a job at her ex's firm just to make his life miserable, a heroine who called him Tony Soprano on a private jet, a secret identity reveal at 30,000 feet and a golden retriever named Bob. SHADES OF GREY & GOLD #questpit #Q #A #DR #RF #WF

Her kingdom erased four other realms & called it history. The forbidden mirror she bought remembers. The Guardian on the other side calls it a chance — if she'll burn everything she was raised to believe. 🪞 #questpit #W #A #F #RF #R *all images sourced from non-AI stock photos edited with Canva

"You have to understand the words I can't say out loud." He didn't say mafia. He didn't have to. She already knew. She unbuckled anyway and walked off that plane... straight into a world that should have sent her running. SHADES OF GREY & GOLD · Mafia Romance #questpit #Q #A #DR #R #WF
