why read about one London Boy, when you can read about two? (all the rumours are true #booksky #romancelandia)

Ash from arrangementWIP isn’t the first LI that, um, *distracts* the FMC with a shirt😏 (is this a recurring theme?)
"You're staring." His words made her jump and she swallowed again. But she was still gawping at his half-naked body. Apparently, the words 'you're staring' didn't stop her staring. "What's wrong with you?" The irritation in his voice forced her to look up at his face. He was frowning. "I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I've never seen so much of another person's body. Without clothes on, I mean." Rolling his eyes, he held up his tunic and said, "Take it." Take it? Why was he giving her his tunic? Did he want her to wear it? Why? She was perfectly fine in her black robes. She wouldn't be able to accept his tunic even if she knew what she was supposed to do with it-her hands were full. He seemed to realise that at the same time as she thought it. Making an exasperated noise, he began rolling his tunic in on itself until it formed a band. She watched, confused. She even took a step back when he came forward with the strip of fabric raised to the level of her throat. Was he going to strangle her with it? She almost started asking what he was doing when she deciphered his intentions. He was wrapping the band around her neck, concealing the cut on her throat. It would also act like a dressing for the wound. "Thank you, Your Highness," she mumbled when he stepped back. "You will keep the cut hidden until it heals," he ordered. "If anyone asks, you will insinuate I'm responsible for whatever you're concealing." She creased her brow. "I don't understand-" "Do I have to spell it out for you?" He sucked in an annoyed breath. "I'd find it infuriating if I couldn't see that you're genuinely clueless." He rolled his eyes.

#WIPsnips: ‘shirt’

and is THAT pic in the moodboard for arrangementWIP taken straight out of this scene?

yes. yes, it is😏

Shaking his head, he mumbles, "I'll turn the heating up." He comes to the thermostat near where I'm standing. With his back to me, he turns the dial before taking his T-shirt off. I'd ask why he's removed his shirt if I wasn't too busy admiring his back and shoulder blades. He twists around and holds the shirt up for me. Now, the sight of his abs and the hollow beneath his throat distracts me. Even if I knew what he wanted me to do with his shirt, I wouldn't be able to move. It's almost too much that he has an amazing body to go with his beautiful face. "Here, put this on and stand near the radiator." His voice snaps me out of my trance and I blink at him. He draws in an exasperated breath and dresses me in his T-shirt. To warm me up as the heating kicks in. If he was in a jumper, I guess he would have taken that off for me. Which is really sweet. Then, he retreats to his room. I don't hear from him until after 2pm, when I'm curled up in bed, sniffling. Moodboard titled ‘A Most Inconvenient Arrangement’ with five images: London skyline, a couple embracing in a nightclub, a young woman dressed in smart office wear, a close-up of a young couple about to kiss, a young couple arguing, a man in the middle of removing his shirt.

#WIPsnips ~ I actually have an instance of ‘burger‘😅

#romancebooks #writesky #writingsky #authorsky #writingprompts #writingcommunity #writers #amwriting #writing
"Zak, look. I'm in grain-free heaven." The buffet is amazing, with so many different items. I giggle when I see Zak's plate several minutes later. Pancakes, fried eggs, and a banana. "Typical Brit abroad," I tease him as we sit at a table for two. "Eating what you usually eat at home. I hope you won't have pizza for lunch and burgers for dinner. I'm planning to try as many Turkish dishes as I can." "Is that baklava?" He looks elated by the opportunity to tease me about something on my plate. "Since when was baklava grain-free and sugar-free?" I giggle. "It's baklava! You can't bring me to Turkey and not expect me to try a piece of baklava." Chuckling, he digs into his pancakes. I take my time with my three varieties of olives, soft cheeses, and the yogurt I've topped with a ladle of fruit salad. Everything's so yummy! I'm stuffed by the time I try my one-off syrupy treat. A most unladylike sound leaves my mouth as I crunch through the flaky pastry. It's so good. Not too sweet, either. Surprised that Zak hasn't teased me yet, I flick my gaze to his face. He's watching me, a serious expression on his face. Moodboard titled ‘A Most Improper Marriage’ with five images. 1: young woman in a floral white dress and hijab smiling at a young man standing next to her. 2: a gravestone with red flowers. 3: a young man sitting down, his face in his hands as if crying. 4: a close-up of a bride and groom’s entwined hands. 5: a close up of the faces of the man and woman from image 1. 6: a cafetiere, a glass cup of coffee, ans a rose-shaped spoon on a wooden tray.

#WIPsnips “Can we meet up?”

He sighs so loud you’d think I’ve asked him to meet me at the top of Mount Everest. “Take the bus that stops outside the stadium to AHP.” Archer Hill Plaza, their local shopping centre. I get why he doesn’t want to come to the football stadium: Awkward memories.

#WIPsnips: ‘picture’ ~ we’re planning Queen treatment for Amaya on her birthday in arrangementWIP, though she wishes her MIL wasn’t so insightful about her past😢

#romancebooks #writesky #writingsky #authorsky #writingprompts #writingcommunity #writers #amwriting #writing
"And you'll eat breakfast in bed like a queen," my mother-in-law insists. "Don't leave your room until we go to the restaurant." Yes, Ashraf will take us out for lunch. "Then, you'll go back to bed. You do so much, Maya," she adds softly. "You've been carrying the world on your shoulders for a long time. Let us carry you for a little bit." Suddenly, my throat feels tight and I jump to my feet. "Okay," I say before rushing out of the lounge. "What was that about? Carrying the world?" I hear Ash ask in a sceptical tone. I picture him shaking his head at his mum like she's talking nonsense. I eavesdrop from my bedroom doorway. "You won't understand," she replies with a rebuke in her tone. "You don't see the things us mothers see."

#WIPsnips: ‘little’ ~ CW: we’re talking about problematic views on food/diet/body image in marriageWIP

#romancebooks #writesky #writingsky #authorsky #writingprompts #writingcommunity #writers #amwriting #writing
"It wasn't my fault that I was, essentially, malnourished." I stare out the car window. "In our culture... girls are made to feel like we should eat little so we'll be slim-because no one will marry us otherwise." I roll my eyes. "In the home, we're never encouraged to eat enough, to eat the right amount of protein. If we seem a little 'chubby, they tell us to eat less, not necessarily to eat healthier or cut down on unhealthy foods. But it's not my mum's fault-her mother was probably like that with her." "They didn't have the knowledge," Zak murmurs in a peacemaking tone. "I mean, you didn't know before you started researching..."

so I forgot to ‘review’ the viral Fix chocolate bar! 🍜🍽️

I really like it✨Probably the tastiest🍫bar I’ve had in a long time

Obv the hype leads you to expect it to be *something else* and that’s not the product’s fault—ppl hyped it up to go viral themselves

I think it deserves the success its had😋

I chuckle-and see that he's still holding my hand. Nerves spiking, I jump to my feet, retrieving my hand as I do. My sudden movement causes Aaron to almost topple over; if he didn't grab onto the table leg, he would have. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" I offer my hand to help him up, which is silly because he doesn't need it, but he grasps it, anyway. Once he's on his feet, he lets go of my hand. "I guess we're even now. Only, I tried to stop you falling, not the other way around." He's smiling so I know he's joking. Maybe flirting. "Sorry," I manage to croak out because my throat is closing up. "It's okay. You can make it up to me. Next time I'm about to fall, stop me." This. Is. Flirting. He's flirting. And talking about a Next Time.

Navid, Stella, Sam, and I are heading to the staff cafeteria for lunch. It's Navid's second to last day in the London office so of course, Sam asks if he's finished packing. "Not quite," Navid replies with a sheepish smile. Even this smile comes with a dimple. He's the only grown man in my life that has dimples. And the thickest black hair. I love how it haloes his heart-shaped face, flops over his forehead. His light skin is almost identical to mine, right down to the pink undertone. "You best get it sorted tonight, mate," Sam says jovially. "You won't get much packing done after your leaving drinks tomorrow." Sam wiggles his eyebrows as though tomorrow's gathering is some sort of bachelor party. I feel like punching him on the arm.

Ashraf has vowed to never love again. When his mum’s ultimatum forces him to find a wife, he offers this to potential brides: Marriage minus romantic love

Just so happens that Amaya wants a similar arrangement—so they tie the knot

How long before one of them changes their minds?

Antagonist’s green flags:

The antagonist believes she‘s a green flag through and through, perfect and grand, which makes her more villainous in my eyes😭She thinks she’s a great mother to her children and a good mother figure to the MC, the saviour of the family.

A bit more context:
As soon as my eldest brother graduated Uni, he got married and I was passed over to him and his new wife. The Evil Stepmother of my story. To everyone else, Bhabi is the Saviour that took responsibility for two teenagers when she wasn't much older herself. I wouldn't say she shouldered the responsibility of taking care of us. That fell on me the moment I moved back home. Bhabi told me I had to pull my weight. Help around the house. Take care of my family. And I, grateful to be back in the home my parents had built, to no longer feel like a burden on my sisters, became the Cinderella of my story.

The last thing Rujina expected a few weeks after her talaq is a marriage proposal from single dad Zakaria Islam

She’s known Zak since they were teens; he’ll definitely be a better husband than her ex ever was

Quickly she sees that marrying a widower comes with its own heartbreak
