15.08.2025 14:54 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 10 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 1A pitch for my novel Queer Romance FOREWARNING Prince Cole doesn't know why he psychically sees people's doppelgangers acting out the future, but it does come in handy. Cole's other secret not so muchโhe's desperately in love with his childhood best friend, royal guardsman Lucas, not least because Luc staunchly supports Cole being an openly nonbinary royal. Unfortunately, Cole can't marry a guardsman, and sweet, introverted Luc would never want to be a royal spouse anyway. But when a head of state is murdered and Cole's life is threatened, Luc steps in as Cole's 24/7 bodyguard. Together they must find a legendary weapon of mass destruction that threatens their own livesโand millions more. (And really, it would be easier for Cole to concentrate if his gorgeous bodyguard wasn't wandering around their room half-naked, but whatever. It's fine.)

Details of Forewarning: Logline: A psychic nonbinary prince trying to solve a royal murder mystery must hide his romantic feelings when his guardsman best friend (and forbidden secret crush) becomes his bodyguard. Genres: Queer Romance, Low Fantasy, Adult, Contemporary Length: 54,000 words
Comps for Forewarning FOREWARNING is a bit like if Dean Koontz's ODD THOMAS was an upbeat queer romance. It will appeal to readers who enjoy K.J. Charles's DOOMSDAY series for its queer love story, strong B-plot, spice level, and titled/commoner dynamics; and the sassy tone of Alexis Hall's 10 THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED.
