Lark is at rock bottom. Betrayed, career in ruins, lying to everyone she loves… and the holiday market she’s working keeps running her into a man who smiles like he’s never met a problem. 🎄holiday romance 🔥 slow burn 🤫 secrets 😒🤠 grumpy/sunshine 🏘 small town 🌶reluctant chemistry #cuPit #w #a #cr

Mood board for Sage owen’s untitled Christmas romance novel. Includes a dark haired woman, a man in a cowboy hat, snowy small town countryside scenes, a holiday market, a piano and acoustic guitar, a woman cuddling a golden retriever, and a close up of a man and a woman’a hands loosely entwined.

An excerpt from a sage owen romance WIP, text as follows:

"Need a jump?" he guessed out the window. If it was much more than that he wouldn't be much help. A face peered around the hood, squinting in his headlights. Well then. "Lark? It's Billy."
Relief gave her the softest expression she'd showed him yet. She came around to his driver's side. How long had she been out here alone? She looked half-frozen. "Hi. My battery's dead, I think."
"I've got cables. Want me to take a look?"
"Thanks. I'm... hopeless about cars."
He folded awkwardly into her driver's seat and tried to start the little car. It didn't make a sound. He dug around behind his seat for jumper cables and after a few minutes with the cars connected he tried her Toyota again. She was shifting from foot to foot, shivering, wasn't dressed for a prolonged stand about in the weather. "Go on and sit in the truck, why don't you? This'll take a few and it'll either work or it won't, no sense getting frostbite over it."
Lark muttered something but after a moment she accepted his suggestion. He tried a few more things but five more minutes later he gave it up as a lost cause. He opened his passenger door and leaned in, relishing the blast of heat. "No luck. I can drop you someplace and we can deal with it tomorrow, or I'll wait with you for a tow."
"We?" she sounded skeptical.
"Not to presume but I work the opening shift at the nearest auto parts store, so I'm probably who you'll need to see for a new battery, unless you take it to a shop and give a middle man the privilege."
"Unbelievable." She hissed under her breath. He stepped back, didn't want to loom over her. Lark closed her eyes, tipped her head toward the ceiling, drew in a slow purposeful breath. Then she straightened and nodded. "Alright. Let me get my things."
So he closed her hood and his, then held the passenger door for her.
She gave him a look. "Are you kidding?"
"No ma'am." He grinned, and maybe it was a little rude to needle her when she was a

A Vampire’s Lament 🖤🦇🥀 Book One in the Time and Time Again series. Benevolent vampire Ishmael’s carefully balanced life is disrupted when Edric awakens a love he thought lost centuries ago. #Cupit #PR #GR #LGBT #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #queerwriters

A gothic style original painting of a vampire dressed in black holding a man dressed in white linen in a stone corridor, surrounded by candle light and moonflowers.

A pitch card that reads benevolent vampire Ishmael’s carefully balanced life is shattered when Edric, the tutor of his adopted nine-year-old spirit medium son, awakens a love he thought lost centuries ago.

A tropes and themes page that reads: DUAL POV, love after grief, queer love and joy, soft gothic, sentient manor, soft fatherhood, ghosts, awkward vampire and sunshine human, Victorian era, queer normative setting, opera house and music, yearning soulmates, and happily ever after

A snippet page that reads in every world, in every time, I would choose you. You are the song of the stars, and the whisper among the trees. It has been you. It has always been you.

Moodboard for ALL YOUR QASAMS with a quote from the novel reading, ‘You are madness incarnate’ and five images: picture of a hot chocolate drink and heart-shaped cookies, a couple embracing during a boat ride, a young south Asian girl in south Asian bridal wear and jewellery smiling down at her maroon outfit, a close-up of a young man kissing the forehead of a young woman, a close-up the joined hands of a south Asian bride and groom, a young man in an aesthetic library reading a hardcover text book.

The moodboard has the premise of the story written above it, which reads: “17-year-old Kavi thinks this year is her last chance to meet a boy and fall in love—due to a certain Qasam—and is out to find a boyfriend. Enter Aaron Mirza. He’s perfect, smitten. So, she must be perfect too. Her childhood best friend Ryhan will show her the ropes and become her Practice Boyfriend, right? But Ryhan has a secret, which could ruin everything. And if Kavi’s strict grandfather learns about her boyfriends, the real one or the fake, he’ll crush her dreams of moving to Scotland for her Medicine Degree.”

Non-AI.

Black book cover with a white rectangular border. At the top, small handwritten-style text reads “A (very) dark rom-com.” The title “TWO, PLEASE” is centered, with “TWO,” in white and “PLEASE” in bold red, rough brush lettering. Below the title, a black-and-white illustrated anatomical heart pierced by a dagger radiates stylized lines. In the foreground, a man and a woman are shown from the shoulders up against the black background. Both have wide, anxious expressions and their mouths are covered with duct tape—black tape on the man, silver tape on the woman. The man wears a light gray sweater; the woman wears a coral-orange top. At the bottom, white text reads: “By the author of Dad Bodies: B. van Bodegom.”

People We Meet on Vacation x When Harry Met Sally A chance encounter at a frat party starts a near decade long friendship between Nat, a pro soccer hopeful, and Matt, a future doc, that could turn into love if one of them is willing to sacrifice their lifelong dream for the other #questpit #Q #A #R

Stubborn Dreams and Bottled Love
Agents Guide

Details:

*87,000 Word Dual POV Contemporary Romance

* When Nat is waylaid by some idiots at a frat party, Matt comes to the rescue and chivalrously escorts her home despite Nat’s insistence she’s fine. They meet again in a shared class, and a friendship develops that neither sought nor particularly desired. Both are on paths shaped by childhood experiences and are loathe to change course even when their friendship deepens and threatens to turn romantic. Nat has dreams of being a professional soccer player in the hopes it will make her dad proud and entice him back into her life. Matt wants to honor his childhood best friend’s death by practicing as a pediatrician in their hometown. As they advance down their respective, solitary roads, they must decide if success is enough to make them complete if it means being without the other.

Tropes:
* Friends-to-lovers-to-friends-to lovers
* Slow Burn
* Sworn Off Love

Comps:
People We Meet on Vacation
When Harry Met Sally
Slow Dance
Every Summer After

Inspired by:
Kids in Love by Pink featuring First Aid Kit

EXCERPT:

“I’m not ready for this to end.”

Nat searched his eyes with eyes full of understanding. Too much understanding. As if she too knew this, whatever this was, had to end. Every time he held her, he wanted more from her. Something Nat couldn’t, wouldn’t give. Not yet. Maybe someday. An improbable idea, not an impossible one. Where’s there’s life, there’s hope. But that hope dwindled with each passing semester, each passing season. He wasn’t sure how much longer he could or should wait. With his all-encompassing residency starting in a few weeks and Nat playing in the Olympics later this year on top of her already grinding schedule, such hope died a slow death.

Comp titles: Lynn Painter’s Better Than The Movies; Ann Liang’s This Time It’s Real; Tashy Bhuiyan’s Counting Down With You; Laura Taylor Namey’s A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow; Jenny Han’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

Maggie Wang lives by her tiger mom’s rules—even her crush ticks all the right boxes. But when she finally works up the courage to confess to the perfect guy, he’s too oblivious to look beyond their friendship. Desperate to turn his head, Maggie hatches a plan: snag a fake date to his hockey team’s skate party and make him jealous, as long as she can survive her clumsy self on the ice.
Enter Nathan Myers—the team grump. Once he agrees to be her stand-in, everything seems simple enough: he’ll teach her how to skate, and she’ll put up with his attitude. Only the more time they spend together, the more Maggie discovers a gentle teddy bear hidden beneath Nathan’s gruff exterior. For the first time, she wonders if it’s okay to let go of certain expectations—being herself might actually be enough.
But Nathan’s a wild card with no college plans. He doesn’t fit in the future Maggie’s mom has mapped out for her. Trapped between the family expectations and her growing feelings, she must decide whether breaking the rules is worth it with the boy who’s becoming more than just a fake date.
