At the top of the image the text reads: SUGAR & FROST by Bethany Averie The Pitch. Below the text is a white square. Text inside the white square reads: When Kallie collides into Chase it's decidedly not love-at-first-sight, but as they grow closer feelings change; however, with a feud, family drama, and a deluded rival, banishment seems more likely than a happily-ever-after.

Snowy background, with icicles hanging down from the top of a white, snowy square. In the front of the square on the bottom is more snow. Standing in the snow is an image of a guy and a girl in formal attire dancing. Inside the snowy square is a mug of hot apple cider with a cinnamon stick, frosted gingerbread cookies in the shape of snowflakes, a cinnamon roll, and a mug of hot chocolate topped off with whipped cream and cinnamon sticks. Text inside the snowy square reads: SUGAR & FROST by Bethany Averie COMPS: MAYBE THIS TIME by Kasie West, BATTLE ROYAL by Lucy Parker, RULE #9 YOU CAN'T MISINTERPRET A MISTLETOE KISS by Anne-Marie Meyer, THE SANTA CLAUSE (Movie)

WINE & WHITE SQUIRRELS by Samantha Gwyn. This is an adult contemporary rom-come complete at 70,000 words and has series potential. Small town life and a woman who doesn't have time for games, blend in this fun and sexy story sprinkled with laughter, interfering aunts and gallons of red wine.

Comps and Tropes. IT HAPPENED ONE SUMMER, THE PUMPKIN SPICE CAFE AND BOSS WITCH. Themes and tropes: family and found family, quirky small town, meet-cute, grump/grump, self discovery and redemption & growth.

The Pitch: Maddie had no idea that moving to a small town meant secret fiancées, ALL the town gossip, a crazy ex and two men who drive her wild, but when a tornado hits, she faces her biggest challenge yet.

An Excerpt: She chuckled a low throaty laugh and turned toward the sidewalk. “Well, this evening turned out much different than I thought it would.” she said, looking over at him as they walked. “Do you always go to the bowling alley and make-out with strange women on Sunday nights, or is this a one off?” He watched as she licked her lips which were slightly swollen from his short beard. “This was a first for me,” he grabbed her hand as they walked “I usually make my moves during miniature golf.”

Updated #agentguide #editorguide ready for the world.

Mean Maddie is moving to the country, but the country might not be ready for her.
She had no idea small town life could mean secret fiancées, ALL the town gossip, 2 interfering aunts, 1 sexy neighbor and a literal tornado heading right for her.

I jerked my head to the side, studying the trees as best I could in the gentle lighting. I could have sworn I saw the shadow of someone, someone humanoid, moving through the branches. Something far too large to be a normal animal. When I looked again, though, I saw nothing.

ALIEN X WHAT MOVES THE DEAD
An isolated space station. A mysterious scientist. A trio of government inspectors. A “false” distress signal. An ever-present AI. A zoo of animal test subjects. What could go wrong?

THE OPENING The world was awash in silver and shadow. Her feet were bare and frozen, the milky outline just visible amongst the spidery fronds of wet grass that clung to her skin and the hem of her nightgown. As dark and grasping as water weeds. This was not one of her nightmares. The kind that ripped her from sleep. That felt like drowning. Suffocating. There was no home spun blanket, no rustle of hand-stuffed pillow. The wind dragged dark strands of copper across her face as she scanned her surroundings. A circular clearing sliced a space through the dark trees. The branches reached for her, swaying and creaking like brittle bones,. It was the farthest she had ever travelled in her sleep

PITCH Caught between two worlds, tethered to both, fully fitting in neither. Blakely has no plans for being a hero and zero interest. She just started dating the best friend she’s loved her whole life, and she’s ignoring the magic sparks she can make that no one knows about. Then she learns that an ancestral necklace with extraordinary magic links her to Noríah, a hidden land she escaped as a child. She was always meant to save her home from a cruel dictator—if only she can overcome crippling self-doubt to access unique powers that amplify those of the resistance she’s supposed to lead. With the constant threat of battle, a traitor lurking within, her own fear of failure, and her dream relationship tumbling out of her control, Noríah will test just how far Blakely will go—and how much she will give up to save it. THE THRONE'S GUARDIAN by Ella Hadley New Adult Romantic Contemporary Fantasy

SNIPPET Arali keeps explaining. It doesn’t help. In fact, I feel my stomach heave again. “You are the heir to the throne’s protectors. The Danár. Leader of our forces. With the Lusáni Pendant, you wield a unique power called the trunála that helps us win battles.” I turn back around to face her. “I’m not interested in what you’re selling,” I say. “I don’t approve of the wars in my own world, so why would I want to help fight yours?” Arali’s face is dead serious, and her eyebrows lift. “Because this is your world, Blakely,” she says. Everybody watches me, waiting for my decision. My arms are crossed so tightly that they hurt. I look at Cameron, who stares back with a mixture of worry and fear on his face. I wish he could help me make this decision, but it’s mine, and mine alone. Could this be the answer I’ve been searching for my whole life? I’ve always wanted to make a real difference in people’s lives—stand up to bullying and oppression and be powerful when I have always felt powerless—but not this way. This terrifies me. Everything is so perfect at home right now. What happens if I choose this path? What lays further down it? Can I really say no to it?

I love this book, it’s my first novel length horror project and I hope I find an agent who loves it as much as I do.
