Then a deception within the crew locks a cruel enemy from Osian's past onto their tail, one who will stop at nothing to end his life.

ALT Snippet: “Would you? Have regretted it, I mean?” Their eyes met. Delphine pinned him with her expectant stare, and he worried again whether she could rummage around his mind for the answers she sought. What could he say? She’d no doubt find him obsessive if he told her the truth – how he’d spent so many waking moments wondering if she remembered their one dance as fondly as he did, when moonlight had clung to her hair and tickled her face as she’d taunted him beneath the stars. How he’d been so relieved to see her on board his ship, in a way he couldn’t put into words. How he hadn’t managed to get rid of the smell of sugar since meeting her, and didn’t want to. Would he have regretted her kiss? “No, Ceraid.” He swallowed, shuffling under the weight of the question. “I could have never regretted it.”

ALT First 250 words: I am six months old when my owner drowns me. I think. It’s what the godservant explains to me. That I, a female juvenile black shorthair cat, die of asphyxiation by drowning at 2:53A.M. on Sunday, May 31st, 2015, in Poppyfield, Michigan, in a puddle formed in my owner’s front lawn by a recent flash flood. But it’s not what I remember. I remember shaking, thrashing, screaming for the hands forcing me down to stop until the muddy water flooding into my lungs buys him my silence. That I have no strength anyway, a sack of bones in fur and some cracked keratin for claws grazing hairy, damp skin. That I’m going to die, and that as my life slips from me, so too does my pain. Until I wake up again. I lie on the lawn once more, my neck still raw. The sun’s beams bleach everything around me, from the short dry grass to the house’s peeling white paint. Except there is no peeling. Why do I know what peeling is? The house stands as new as an office shirt before morning coffee.

When Elise, Phoebe's best friend and CEO, hires a consulting firm to keep Appelle from shuttering its doors for good, Phoebe finds herself living her worst-case scenario: putting her professional life in the hands of Miles Newport, a finance bro with a toddler's palate. Miles is convinced the only thing that can save Appelle is ‘pivoting’ to a ‘consumer product’ with ‘mass-market commercial appeal’.

With so much already on the line, what are Phoebe and Miles willing to risk for love?

ALT Snippets of feedback from early readers: 1. Loved these! Introduces conflict, MCs, LI: everything we need to know. Especially clear what's at stake if the MC can't reach her goal. There's a nice balance in the pages between the LI and the MC's goal, which is not exactly to pursue LI. He seems to be an aside. More pages needed! 2. Great pitch. Bio is spot on. Punchy writing is solid genre fit. 3. Your writing is so visually beautiful that it inspires me to create so thank you for that. 4. Stopped me in my tracks. Love this tension. 5. I'm 20% through and LOOOVVVINNNGGG it!!! I plan to finish by tomorrow. And I have no notes so far, like I really love it! I am not surprised you received a full request on this story. It's so easy to get lost in! The banter is SO good. I'm eating it up!!

ALT Beta and editor feedback. 1. Okay, I finished reading it and how is it possible that even though I've read this story probably 15x, I still never get tired of it? It is such a wonderful and beautiful and fun and smart story and I wish so many other could read this. 2. Andrea I cannot say enough good things about this opening. Obsessed with it. 3. This is gorg, Andrea! I adore your comps and also your writing is so crisp! 4. Just five seconds ago finished your book in the car. 1. I read the last several chapters because I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. 2. Cried twice. That was perfectly and beautifully imagined and written. And then at the very end. 3. Hooted or laughed MANY times.
