Mixing sugar with butter? Good.
Mixing business with pleasure? Bad. Terrible. Stupid.
But there's no crying in baking, and the cost to save S&N Sweets? Pretending to be his live-in girlfriend.

#A #R #W #QuestPit #AmEditing
It’ll Cost You A dual POV romance with anxiety and grieving rep Comp Titles: Cane Brothers Series for similar writing style, hate sex and alpha CEO MMC Unfortunately Yours for similar character dynamic, mean cat, and wrong first impressions Two Broke Girls for FMC starting a baking business with her best friend, who is the Caroline to her Max. All three are sexy and funny Short synopsis blurb about the book. Beckett Lennox-Ross has been VP of Operations at his family’s investment firm for five years. Standing between him and his promotion to COO is the acquisition of Sterling Property Group, where the mean, but attractive, receptionist makes his job hell. Natasha might think he’s an operations manager, but one wrong move lands her right in his lap. After her sugar daddy ends their contract, Natasha Marino is humiliated, broke, and pinned underneath her annoying co-worker, Beckett. To relieve the stress of her and her best friend’s failing baking business, Nat agrees to a sex-only relationship with Beckett. Everything seems hopeless until a strange client tricks her into saying she has a boyfriend. Desperate not to be set up by his meddling cousin, Beckett makes Nat an offer she can’t refuse. She can live with him rent-free and have full use of his chef’s kitchen, if she pretends to be his girlfriend. When the lines of real and fake blur, what will it cost? Snippet from the book: “Beckett.” His name slips out in an involuntary and contented sigh. I feel the need to suppress it and scream it louder at the same time. “Still hate me?” he asks, lifting his head. That damn smirk of his; he must know how sexy he looks. Before I can answer, he sucks gently on a sensitive spot on my neck. My eyes shut as I pop up, pressing my chest against his and bringing us impossibly closer. I whimper the first syllable of his name, like I’m an old disc with a scratch on it. “I’m going to take that as a no.” “I do though,” I insist, but my voice is quiet and sweet, almost whiny. His eyes meet mine as an electric shock falls through me. “We’ll see how long that lasts.”

PITCH: Time’s up. The choice is either death or permanent confinement. But a chance meeting offers a ray of hope, a doorway to the freedom Alex and Jason crave. It will pit them against corporate vampires, but the alternative is set in stone.

Photo is of a dead end path, in a mold-infested dungeon. One side of the tunnel leads to prison bars; the other side leads to darkness. But, in the middle of the path, a ray of light shines from an unseen doorway, illuminating the stone floor, and showing a possible escape route. Photography by Dawn Berkoski.

A dying estate. A bankrupt legacy. A suitor offering salvation or a love that could destroy her. A mother’s death shrouded in mystery. A father she can’t trust. A blood curse feeding the manor’s hunger.

Lottie Bradbury must face it all.

HERE WE GO AGAIN x It’s a Sin

While honouring an uncle's dying wish to reunite six drag queen activists, a young gay man learns the dark truth about his adoptive mother's past. When she turns on him, he must choose—his uncle’s legacy or the woman who raised him.

#QuestPit #A #Q
On the left, the title THE DRAGNIFICENT SEVEN is written, with the text angled vertically. To the right is a 9 square moodboard. In the four corners are images of drag queens. Top middle is an image of an LGBTQ+ rights protest in black and white. Bottom middle is a picture of a piece of colourful modern art. Middle left is a road map with a magnifying glass and set of car keys resting on top. Middle right is an image of a young man with medium length hair walking through a city at night. In the centre is a pile of newspaper cuttings with the words 'are the dragnificent seven back?" written over the top in a fake headline style. On the right hand side and acting as a background image, is a drag queen waiting in the wings. If you use a screenreader or rely on alt text, I always aim to make picture posts as inclusive as possible.
