Run. What a powerful instinct.
Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after.

The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.
What we know:
-Runaway in Hiding
-Fake Identity (turned real identity)
-Mental Health Rep
-Genderfluid and Pan Rep
-Found Family
-90s Small-Town Nostalgia

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days x Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses in A DUTIFUL PRINCESS’S HANDBOOK A Cozy Medieval Romantasy 🍰 Barbie for adults 🌸 Arranged marriage 👑 Princess x Prince 🕯️ Dual POV 🩷 Lovable family chaos #questpit #W #NA #A #RF
A DUTIFUL PRINCESS’S HANDBOOK

A Cozy Medieval Romantasy 

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days x Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses x The Princess Knight 
The Pitch: 
No one likes an arranged marriage, but when Prince Alaric is grounded from his adventures until he can find a bride, he accepts his fate and puts a ring on the first princess he can find. Princess Genevieve would rather marry a plant than a prince, so in a desperate attempt to make him call it off, she must become the most insufferable princess Alaric has ever had the displeasure of meeting. Yet as the wedding inches closer, and devious mental games are played, perhaps not all arrangements are as bad as they initially seem. The last rays of sunshine still linger over the garden as I clutch onto my skirts and haste across the lawn. And just as the sun sets I sink onto my knees before the statue of Inessa, folding my hands as I throw a last glance over my shoulder for any of my sisters. Then I purse my lips as I wait for the words to come, my head bowed in prayer. 
“Dear Inessa,” I start, and shudder at the sound of my own voice in the empty air. “Please don’t send me into a loveless marriage. I don’t want a life at court and I don’t want to meet a supposed soulmate today, so if you could just call it off an make sure it doesn’t—” 
“I knew I saw someone lurking around the corner.” 
I yelp as I spin around, fall over and scrape my palms on the cobblestone.  
A masculine chuckle chimes as I push away the curtain of hair before my eyes, my face heating with every note. 
“My apologies, I never meant to scare you, I simply saw someone rush by and had to know if I was missing out on anything.” His cerulean doublet becomes unmistakable as he offers his hand and pulls me up before I can protest, or run away, or fall into an endless hole somewhere in the the earth. 
“You’re here with the Cordellian prince, aren’t you?” The words stumble out of my mouth. He looks even better up close—sea blue eyes with a circle of green near the pupils that sparkle with life and firm hands around mine, speckled with sunspots and veins. 
His eyebrows knit together for a moment. “I guess you could say that.” 
I pull my hands from his and tuck them away behind my back. Manicured hedges shield us from spectators, but with him here who knows where the prince might follow. 
“Now what are you doing here, alone on the ground?” he says with a boyish grin. 
I bob my mouth open and closed like a fish, stepping in front of the statue of Inessa like it’ll shield the tall marble from view. “Touching the grass?” 
“Touching the grass?” His brows furrow in disbelief.

A MARVELLOUS LIGHT X PENNY DREADFUL When a mysterious being heralds the apocalypse, there are only two witnesses: Rowan and Darshil, bitter exes who must brave London’s occult underbelly and save the world from eternal darkness, all while grappling with their unresolved feelings. #questpit #Q #RF
Gothic Gaslamp Romantasy
Adult standalone
109,500 words

Pitch:
After their one-night stand ends in hurt, hedonistic occultist Rowan and repressed poet Darshil never want to see each other again. That plan is ruined when a being from beyond the grave heralds the apocalypse, and they are the only two witnesses.
Forced together, Rowan and Darshil plunge into London's occult underbelly in search of answers to the apocalypse. But as the Veil between life and death slowly thins, and old passions reignite, Rowan realises the truth lies in memories he swore to forget, and that the past is a shallow grave, easily unearthed.
Comps:
The Magpie Lord: gaslamp world, occult magic, big spooky house
A Marvellous Light: opposites attract, magical bonds
The Gentleman and his Vowsmith: second chance, steamy romance
The Resurrectionist: historical setting, self discovery
Penny Dreadful: Victorian gothic, seduced by darkness

Black cat x golden retriever
Yearning
Bisexual awakening
Second chance romance
Forced proximity
Only one bed
Opposites attract
Gothic decadence
Big spooky house
Exploration of grief
Horror as a metaphor
Dreams-based magic
The occult
Alternate London setting
Art shows a thin white person with short black hair, blue eyes, and an unimpressed expression, and a plus-sized South Asian man with chin-length curly black hair, brown eyes, short facial hair, and a soft smile.

It was a poet’s job to seek out beauty, to be mesmerised by it. Darshil wanted to transform Rowan into swirls of ink, to fit his hands into the slight dips where Rowan’s waist met his hips and write him a thousand times over. 

The only thing more fascinating than death was the tormented living it left behind. 
It helped to hate him. It was less painful than loving him. 
The dead thing woke to the acrid stench of its own rot. 
Rowan matched him tenderness for tenderness, giving everything he could and knowing that for once, his everything was enough. 
Perhaps closing his eyes stopped it meaning anything. Darshil knew he should do the same. This was shame beyond anything else, a secret to take to the unloving grave.
He kept his eyes open anyway. With Rowan beneath him, as beautiful as the dawn, he couldn’t bear to look away.

When a vampire and a teen witch kill a high-ranking vamp in self defense, they team up to hide the murder from the slain foe’s vengeful clan—and bonding over the deadly secret just might kindle their offbeat romance. ❤️🦇 #QuestPit #Q #YA #PR #R
Agent's Guide to The Jinxborough Vampires, YA Paranormal Romance, 93,000 words. (Image description: character art of a witch girl and vampire boy, embracing and smiling at one another)Laurie Loveday, a newbie witch, and Vincent Fraley, a newbie vampire, are two (somewhat) ordinary bookstore clerks 
in Jinxborough, Massachusetts. One night, a vampire attacks Laurie, but Vincent intervenes and kills the assailant. The duo team up to hide the murder—if the truth gets out, 
the fallen vamp’s brother, Hank Greaves, would kill them. 

They can’t get sidetracked by their growing bond, but 
Laurie makes Vincent feel human again. His vampire side matures rapidly, and if he doesn’t find a cure soon, Hank won’t be the only bloodsucker Laurie needs protection from. Her amateur powers are unreliable, and, shunned by vampire-
hating witches, Laurie fears she won’t find a magic teacher 
unless she abandons Vincent.

Unfortunately, struggles with love and mastering witchy roots seem trivial when Hank demands answers about his missing brother...and a mysterious blackmailer threatens to expose the teens if they don’t do his shady bidding.

“These violets are lovely! Oh, Zen—Zenora, you have no idea how worried I was that you would be stuck in that weak state forever. But you’ve blossomed, just like the Allflower! Oh my days, praise be to Magratham that this stain has been lifted. I really thought the day would never come, but I am so grateful to have been wrong. Look. At. You!” she finishes, squeezing my shoulders with sharp purple claws. “Zenora Vivra, Caretaker of the Allflower. Oh, it has a wonderful ring to it, don’t you think?”
“It really does, Mother,” I acquiesce, because in the fantasy world in which I had the capability to take care of the Allflower, I would love to. It’s an absurdly high honor, and I would be the new pride and joy of my family. Only Fern has been given the opportunity to be the Caretaker out of the living Vivras. That was three years ago now, and I think my mother has been itching for the high that status provides ever since.
