💖 SHE’S THE MAN x ICEBREAKER, BUT MAKE IT E-SPORTS 🎮 To join her dream esports team, Cam let everyone assume she's a guy. Now all she has to do is survive the captain, who's sure she's the weak link — without falling for him first. #Q #R #A #questpit #agentsguide #amquerying
Last Pick by Ruchi Dave is an e-sports romance novel, complete at 75k words. 

Cameron Day has always felt like a loser—except in the video game League of Champions, where she dominates. So when an esports team mistakes her for a guy and recruits her, she doesn’t correct them.

But to Jacob—their ruthless (and distractingly hot) captain who’s already seen one ex-teammate implode under pressure—she’s a risk they can’t afford. If she cracks, they all go down with her.

The only way forward is to prove she’s not a liability, but the key to pulling them out of freefall.

A memory of that "rush" from secret kisses in the back of a Swiss finishing school classroom in 1912.
The Lies That Shadows Tell. Chapter 25. Helena’s eyes narrowed. Social exile. Professional ruin. She may not have faced imprisonment, but she was well acquainted with this line of consequences. It had been worth it, of course. The taste of Cassia’s lips pressed to hers in the shadowed alcoves of the school chapel. The way her fingers had trembled against Cassia’s cheek. The sudden rush of blood at the sound of a door closing nearby. The cool eyes of Madame Fontaine when she judged the distance between them as too close. Too comfortable. Too... dangerous. She had learned, then, how much desire could cost a woman.

The Lies That Shadows TellHistorical Spy Romance
Vigo, Spain. 1935. 
Widowed mother of two, Helena Santos, operates the largest illicit arms network in the Mediterranean to protect her daughters from becoming political pawns in a country on the brink of civil war. 
When a British saboteur attempts to infiltrate her business, she must decide if his charm and respect to her intellect will overcome the need to eliminate the threat he poses. 
But Italian agents are circling closer, seeking to subjugate Helena’s weapons to Mussolini’s colonial ambitions. This British saboteur could become her greatest ally against a mutual enemy, but his presence has already made Helena more vulnerable than she realizes. If he can’t guard his secret about his role in the death of Helena’s husband, it could leave them both vulnerable to Italian assassination. The Lies That Shadows TellHistorical Spy Romance
British intelligence officer Sicarius believes one death is a small price to stop an infamous arms dealer from destabilizing the Mediterranean—until his investigation points to Helena Santos, the widow whose husband was killed because of his own flawed intelligence. 
Now, Helena has transformed into El Águila, a ruthless broker who supplies all factions equally to shield her daughters from Spain’s escalating violence. What begins as mutual surveillance becomes a charged connection built on mutual respect and a shared understanding of the moral cost of survival. 
But as Italian agents seek to subjugate Helena’s network to Mussolini’s colonial ambitions, they must confront a dark truth: each is complicit in violence that has threatened the other’s life. Both must decide whether trust is possible when the one you love is as likely to kill you as kiss you.

"You were my undoing, and I am to be yours." MM Romantasy 107k Vengeful courtesan Kresimir Zaheriev has his eyes set on killing the King. The King has plans to make Kresimir one of his secret magic investigators. Both get more than they bargained for. #Cupit #RF #LGBT
"The Iris and the Aconite MM Romantasy" "You were my undoing and I am to be yours" photos on a background of ripped and wrinkled paper. Left to right, top row: a ripped photograph (half shows the ML, half shows the MC), someone holding a crown, a poison vial. Second row: a castle in a round picture frame, two hands reaching for each other, and two people embracing each other. Lastly, a photo of a man on top of another man, choking him     “Aren’t you a wealth of knowledge?” Kresimir crossed his arms. “What does this have to do with anything? Or are you trying to rub it in my face that my parents might’ve been a pair of pyromaniacal cultists?”
      The King gave him a tired look, his eyes widening slightly, his brows dipping. “You really believe the worst of me, don’t you, my friend?” 
      “We’re not friends.” 
      “We are most definitely something tangential to friendship.” 
      “I believe those are called allies. Acquaintances.” 
      “We had drinks together.” 
      “Because I wanted to kill you, you stubborn fool!” They were close enough to feel each other’s breath now. An inexplicable urge to close the gap surged in Kresimir, potent as his irritation.
      “I’m stubborn?” the King asked in disbelief. 
      The doors to the office creaked open, and they jumped apart, Kresimir’s heart racing from more than vexation.

The text is on a paper texture against a beige background. Illustrated flowers are in the upper left and lower right corners.  A locket is in the upper right corner. A kiss mark is in the lower left corner

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.

SWEENEY TODD × TRUE ROMANCE × NATURAL BORN KILLERS When two serial killers accidentally target each other, Cupid should've aimed for their throats. Killing together is double the fun. But when one of them wants out, the choice is either stay or slay. #CuPit #A #HOR #DR #W
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.”
