Personally I love when literary agents have hyper specific manuscript wishlist items I’ll be scrolling MSWL and see someone asking for something like “dark romantasy retelling of Theseus and the Minotaur, preferably sapphic with Hannibal vibes” Girly I hope that ends up in your inbox tomorrow.

"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

𝒅𝒖 𝑴𝒂𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒓'𝒔 𝑹𝑬𝑩𝑬𝑪𝑪𝑨 𝒙 𝑵𝒆𝒕𝒇𝒍𝒊𝒙'𝒔 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑷𝑬𝑹𝑭𝑬𝑪𝑻 𝑪𝑶𝑼𝑷𝑳𝑬 When murder is suspected, a PR exec who's always tried to do the 'right thing' must decide how far to go to protect the people she loves. They all have a motive. Esp. the dead woman's husband. The man she's in love with. #Cupit #Q #A #RS #RM 📚💙

Eight years previously... That party at Cambridge was the first time they'd met... From family snaps of Kris, Listy had known what to expect, of course. What she didn't expect was the startled lurch as her eyes met his, the catch in her breath. He had merely dropped his gaze to his brother asleep with his head in Listy's lap. Then a very pretty, buxom undergrad had claimed his attention, sidling up to offer him a bottle of Kronenbourg with all the awe and piety of offering a libation to Zeus himself.
