Excerpt “Who are you?” she asks. “My name is Melody, I’m Lyra’s younger sister,” I say. “You two are identical.” I wish I could ask Lyra if she’s okay with Annie knowing everything. Better yet, I wish I could make her explain it. Her girlfriend, her problem. But I’m here alone, Annie is the one who saw Lyra last, and I want any information she can give me. It’s not like I could pretend I’m Lyra and ask why she ran out last night. I kind of need to tell her. I’ve never had to explain us. I don’t know where to start. It’ll be easier since she can already sense Lyra and I are different people. Somehow. But it’s still going to sound insane to a normal person. “I’m six years younger than Lyra. She died when we were kids, and I… I don’t know what I did but I saved her soul. I kept it.” I press my hand against my chest, careful to avoid the burn. “We’ve shared this body—my body—for over twenty years.”

This picture is a mood board for the romance book, “Breaking the Blueprint.” The general vibe is enemies to lovers with elements of the NYC architecture industry culture and shifts to the small town feel of Colorado mountains. The main character is a redhead woman with freckles and brown eyes and the main love interest is a brunette man with blue eyes. The images show them getting close through dancing in the kitchen at night, playing in the snow together, and nights out on the town.

What if medicine was illegal and you learned you had the power to heal? HEIRS OF BALANCE ANDOR x NAUSICAÄ 🌱Post-apocalypse hopepunk 🤐 Family secrets 🧬 Science-based magic ❤️‍🔥 Slow-burn romance 🥹 Found family REP: 🧠 ND 🤎 BIPOC and 🌈 LGBTQ+ characters #QuestPit #Q #SFF #RF #WritingCommunity

Heirs of Balance by Lesley Parry - Adult Science Fantasy, 90,000 words. ANDOR meets NAUSICAÄ where healing is heresy and compassion sparks rebellion. @lesleyparrybooks #Q #SFF #RF

What if medicine was illegal...and you had the power to heal? Includes images of a group of houses in a meadow, surrounded by forest and wind turbines, a mortar and pestle with ground herbs, a pair of glowing hands, and an eco-futuristic castle with glass dome towers.

In a post-collapse world where medicine is illegal and even touching the sick is forbidden, Mira Elders risks her life every time she secretly treats the ill with contraband herbs. But when she lays hands on a dying boy in public and magically heals him, secrecy is no longer possible. Her gift should be a miracle. Instead, it marks her for execution.

To survive, Mira flees her village and enlists in the very regime that hunts people like her. As the Median regime tightens its grip through a project that harvests health from prisoners to extend the lives of the elite, a new crackdown on healers looms. But when Mira learns that medicine played a role in causing the Collapse, even rebellion stops looking simple. To join the fight, she will have to wield the very power her world was built to fear—and risk proving the regime right.

If you liked THE SURVIVING SKY by Kritika H. Rao (eco-magic + rebellion), THE GRACE YEAR by Kim Liggett (oppression + survival stakes), SOME DESPERATE GLORY by Emily Tesh (authoritarian control + messy awakening)

When a scandal exiles her to Lucerne, disgraced Olivia Rooney falls for the one man she’s forbidden to love—Théodore Chair-Beaumont, the brooding aristocrat sworn to matrimony with another.

His hunger transcends anything as simple as lust. A perfect replica of my own.
Our appetite goes beyond the physical. What we starve for is not the body, but the soul.
Spirits, which I'm certain, have known each other for millennia—longing and finding one another, again and again against all odds.
Nothing can come between what is immaterial.
Even less so when it is destined
A divine homecoming.
He is the vessel of my existence. The missing half that completes me. There is no him without me. And without him, there is no me.
-
And how do I tell him I'd gladly crawl beneath his armor, inside his clothes and past his skin? Fight myself through sinews and bone, every ligament and essence that makes him him, and live on solely to keep his soul free of any pain?
Caretaker of his soul for eternity.
-
A touch, as soft as a feather.
The dull edges of fingernails.
Deliberate and as exquisitely slow as molasses.
I arch into these luxuries like a cat wanting for more.
Hum at the whispery strokes as they comb through my scalp, down my hair, in pursuit of my jaw and finally my décolleté.
I know it's him.
Scent him like a vampire would sweet blood.

GET IT TOGETHER | 88K | Adult Black Rom-Com ✨ Nothing can stop Cassie and Malcolm, bona fide workaholics, from pursuing a second, serendipitous chance at love, until a tangled web of money, frenemies, and yarn jeopardizes their best-laid plans and threatens to tear them apart.🧶🖤 #QuestPit #Q #R #A

White text and images over a brown background. Agent's guide to GET IT TOGETHER. Est. Brooklyn 2026. 88K. Now Querying.

The Pitch: Nothing can stop Cassie and Malcolm, bona fide workaholics, from pursuing a second, serendipitous chance at love, until a tangled web of money, frenemies, and yarn jeopardizes their best-laid plans and threatens to tear them apart.

What to expect: Rom-Com Antics with Heart & Depth, Second (and third) chances, BIPOC cast of characters, he falls first, but she wants casual, high spice, cafes, clubs, and craft stores, fierce and funny friendships, anti-capitalist propaganda, "what if i just quit my shitty job"

The comps: Kennedy Ryan's can't get enough, Alexis Daria's along came amor, and HBO's insecure

A black adult rom-com of overcaffeinated proportions

White text and image over brown background. Image is of two people holding a disco ball.

Text says: Get it Together - Meet the MCs
She thinks he’s too cool for her, and he thinks she’s too cool for him, and that might make them perfect for each other.

Cassie quit her high-powered job and really wants a craft store.

Cassie loves a good plan, but she certainly didn’t plan to quit her shitty job when her boss screws her over. Determined to leave her corporate baddie phase behind, she devises “The Fun Plan” and swears off dating until she’s figured her life out. Her co-dependent ex was a nightmare, and she can’t have a man throw her off track again.

But when she runs into Malcolm eight years after their one-night stand at his beloved Brooklyn cafe, his willingness to help her out is kind of charming...

(she’s a virgo)

Malcolm owns Brooklyn’s hottest cafe and he really wants her (duh).

Malcolm is shook when Cassie barges into his cafe with a bag full of yarn. Little does she know, he just got an embarrassing lecture from his friends that he’s never beating the workaholic allegations, despite leaving the finance world years ago.

Cassie’s reappearance might be the distraction he needs, and he can show her what she’s been missing. Now if only she didn’t come with a conniving, elitist social circle that could upend everything he’s worked so hard to build...

LOVE ISLAND x SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE x COZY MYSTERY A producer on a reality dating show about rekindling exes must fake date her own first love in order to save the show from cancellation when she suspects her new boss of sabotage. #questpit #r #q #spicy #agentguide #a

An image of a notebook featuring a collage with photographs of beach images, men and women enjoying vacation, kissing, and stills from the show 'Love Island'. Iconography of camera equipment is also present. The text reads :AGENTS GUIDE, Contemporary spicy rom com. Inspired by reality tv. written by a reality tv producer. EX island is complete at 90,000 words.

An image of an notebook featuring the text: EX ISLAND: one sentence pitch. "A producer on a dating show about rekindling with your ex must fake date her own first love to save the show from cancellation when she suspects her new boss of sabotage." The second half of the notebook reads : COMPS and features images of The True Love Experiment by Christina Lauren, Fan Favorite by Adrienne Gunn, The Ex Vows by Jessica Joyce, and One Last Time by Roxie Noir.

A notebook page with the text that reads: EX ISLAND: Full blurb.
Blurb:
Ginny is a producer on Ex Island, a dating show where former couples try to rekindle their relationship.

Unfortunately, the show has recently been acquired by nightmare corporate mega streamer, Stream+, putting the future of her beloved show at risk.

When Ginny’s own shitty ex, Jesse, shows up as a contestant, she thinks there’s no way things can get worse. For Ginny, nothing has ever been easy, so of course she’s wrong. Someone begins sabotaging the show in increasingly violent ways, including poisoning Jesse’s partner.

In order to save the show from cancellation, Ginny agrees to ‘fake date’ Jesse and join the cast, putting their relationship to the test through a series of embarrassing challenges as they try to investigate while fighting a growing sexual tension.

As the show and their investigation force them to face issues they buried ten years ago, Ginny realizes the one real thing she’d ever had was Jesse... but she knows better than anyone when that comes to TV, anything can be faked— especially love.

Ex island is a contemporary romance complete at 90,000 words, similar to True Love Experiment by Christina Lauren, Fan Favorite by Adrienne Gunn, and Love Overboard by Kandi Steiner. Inspired by my own career in reality television for the last ten years, Ex Island is the vibes of a 'behind the scenes' look at Love Island with the twist of a buddy cop romance between contestants. By day, I have worked on some of your favorite reality and scripted series, from 90 Day Fiance and F-Boy Island to Heated Rivalry, and by night, I hope to bring that same fun, can't-miss, romantic comedy feel to readers with my books.

A notebook page with the text that reads: MEET THE COUPLE.
On the left, a fan cast image of a brunette woman with messy hair in a casual t shirt (Actress Margaret Qualley, but any brunette with curly messy hair would be appropriate). Text reads:
Ginny Gardner, 30
Virgo
Lead Producer, Ex Island

Hyper-focused on her career, Ginny is organized, anxious, and logical. Will do anything to prove herself and will do it alone. Raised by a woman who gave up on her dreams for a man, Ginny knew she’d never let that happen to her. Prone to panic attacks and a phobia of bridges. Lets her personal life and self-care fall apart to take care of her show, her mom, and her friends. Been alone and independent for too long.

On the right: A fan cast image of Bad Bunny. Text reads.
Jesse Amos, 32
Gemini
‘Unemployed’/ Contestant
A golden boy golden retriever that people like immediately--which pisses Ginny off to no end. Responsible, reliable, emotional, and extroverted--wears his heart on his sleeve and isn’t afraid to show he’s still angry at her after all these years. Physical touch. A little Dom. Large Cuban family. Former aspiring professional soccer player, until Ginny broke his heart.

Beneath that, it says
TROPES
and says
second chance romance
lovers to enemies to lovers
areer focused FMC, love-hungry MM
mystery sub plot
‘buddy cop’ romance
forced proximity
fake dating
he’s nice to everyone but her
he’s been yearning for years
only he knows her body well enough.
