When enemies-with-benefits plan a heist…

An agent/editor/reader’s guide to:

OF STRAYS AND SINNERS

my wildly romantic adult fantasy 👀🔥✨🥷

#writingcommunity

Images of the sun and the moon on pitch black background. A hooded person holding a glowing sun in their hands. The dimly lit streets of an old town. A ginger cat staring. A tightrope dancer high on the rope

Black background with twinkling stars, a ballet dancer surrounded by the lunar cycle. Text: The pitch: Rhye is on the run from the man she betrayed and stole from. Darkin wants revenge for the betrayal that broke him. The only thing stronger than his hate for Rhye is his longing. To save their own necks from a magical mastermind, they must plan a dangerous heist—and keep their eyes and daggers off each other long enough to survive

Black background with twinkling stars. A dancer under a dome of stars, the sun, and the moon.
Text: Tropes and rep:

✨ enemies to lovers

Black background, images of the sun, the moon and the stars in glowing golds and reds.

Natalie’s guide to surviving boarding school:

🔪don’t let your murderous side show

🔪seriously, do NOT kill anyone even if you want to

🔪practice the Good Girl smile for Yale

🔪DON’T fall for the new girl

🔪Fail and go to jail? Hell, no.

Being a good girl? Overrated.

Hurting people—intriguing.

But that’d risk Natalie’s rep at her elite boarding school and her desired spot at Yale.

She’s got it all under control, until pretty new girl Aylin sees right through her mask.

Now, to kiss or to kill her?

Natalie pretends to be a good girl at the country’s most elite boarding school but secretly craves to hurt(kill?) people. Wouldn't that be more fun?

When new girl Aylin sees through Nat’s mask a game of cat&mouse begins where desire and danger blur.

Until someone dies

Oh that would be awesome. I live a bit outside of the city but will be shifting back into town sometime next year. I’d love to connect with more local writers 😊
