THE PITCH: CHLOE TAKES REFUSE IN A HAUNTED HOUSE, ONLY TO BE TRAPPED THERE, MARKED AS THE FUTURE BRIDE OF THE UNDERWORLD PRINCE. SHE WAS THREE WEEKS TO BREATH THE BOND, OR BE HIS FOREVER. BUT DESTINY HAS OTHER PLANS IN THIS GHOST STORY. LAKESEDGE X THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE

LAKESEDGE X HILL HOUSE
Chloe is trapped in her uncle's vacant mansion, marked as the future bride of the Underworld prince. A handsome ghost seems to have all the answers, but with only 3 weeks to fight for freedom, hope & destiny are fragile things.

It'll Cost You: A Contemporary Romance

Comps: Unfortunately Yours by Tessa Bailey, A Not So Meet Cute by Meghan Quinn, 2 Broke Girls TV Show

Natasha has one dream: to take S&N Sweets from side business to storefront bakery. When her sugar daddy leaves her, she’s chef kitchenless, broke, and lands flat on her back underneath her annoying co-worker, Beckett. Rock has met bottom until Beckett makes her an offer she can’t refuse: pretend to be his live-in girlfriend, and she can have full access to his ovens. Another agreement without sweet promises, because no one stays in Nat’s life forever. Beckett doesn’t need a girlfriend to be happy, despite the protests of his friends and family. All he wants is to be promoted from VP of Operations to COO of Carmichael, Lennox & Ross, Corp.. He just needs to survive the acquisition of Sterling Property Group, all while pretending to be someone he’s not. When Nat derails all his plans, he wrestles between being the man he promised someone else he would be, or the happy one he never thought he’d be again.

Snippet from IT'LL COST YOU where Natasha wagers her terms to pretend to be Beckett's girlfriend, stating it'll cost him if he wants her to be sweet and loving.

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.

Low flying in of a forest, an old castle by the shore with clouds, a mysterious tunnel in a river, a black girl camouflaged in the forest, a close up of tribal marks and a tribal necklace on a black person, more modern building in a forest, a row of canoes in a river, more of the modern building with ancient railing and staircase in front of it.
