Sophia Lane has it all—except a boyfriend. So when she panics and lies about bringing one to a company retreat, she ropes in her annoyingly charming neighbor to play the part. It’s only a weekend of fake dating. What could go wrong? (Spoiler: everything.) #W #questpit #A #R

PINK BACKGROUND, SILHOUETTES OF A MAN AND A WOMAN SURROUNDING THE WORDS BEST BAD IDEA.  UNDER IT SAYS CONTEMPORARY ROMCOM, TAYLORRENEE AGENT AND EDITORS PINK BACKGROUND SAYS

sophia lane has it all. perfect job. nice apartment. everything... except a stable love life. when her boss asks her if she’ll be bringing her boyfriend to the company retreat she panics and lies. Now, to save face and score the promotion she’s worked years for she ropes in her unruly, annoyingly charming neighbor to play the part. as long as they both follow the rules of fake dating, nothing can go wrong... RIGHT?Sophia,
Looking forward to seeing you (and your boyfriend!) next weekend. I’m rooting for you to help woo the clients and bring home this acquisition!

P.S. Madison already sent over Jacob’s “fun facts” for the team icebreaker.

I drop my forehead onto the desk.
Of course Madison sent fun facts. Of course Jacob plays the cello, rescues shelter dogs, and bakes his own sourdough.
Meanwhile, I’m just hoping my fake boyfriend doesn’t show up to the welcome dinner in a “Free Britney” tank top and checkered Vans out of spite.Bild

Moodboard for an adult political intrigue fantasy taking place on an archipelago. The text reads "Were you in any way suited for this world, you would know that diplomacy is often most effective in the absence of flags." The images show a rocky island coast from above, the rigging of a tall ship from below (sails lowered), a girl with dark eyes and dark braided hair with gold beads, the inside of a grand theatre, a large unfurled scroll of writing, a chess board with a knocked over piece, two fencers preparing to fence, palm trees at sunset, a khaen, and more ship ropes and rigging at night from the deck.Photo at night of a tall ship's rigging and sail with a textbox over it reading "PITCH: Sabamere’s Crown is dead, & no one can know. 
Least of all the two other nations at the Amber Coast diplomatic summit—if one isn’t responsible for his death, that is.

Luckily, the reclusive Crowns hide behind their selected Aftcastles, so the old Aftcastle can keep up the charade of stability until delicate negotiations are done & the new Crown can take the throne.

Enter street actress Rev, stage left. She’s the new Crown’s choice for Aftcastle, which must remain a secret until the summit ends, but her duty to her country—& her brother, jailed in a dungeon right below the negotiating table—has already begun.

All Rev needs to do is keep her head down, her ears open, & stay alive until her Crown’s coronation, then she can free her brother.

Too bad the diplomats have other plans for her."
REVERENCE SEVENTH AFTCASTLE

Kira and Xavier have two things in common: neither is in a place to start a relationship and they're extremely attracted to each other. It's only natural that they become friends with benefits. But all too soon, they're torn between following their hearts, or risking everything. #QuestPit #R #W
