Wedding cake decorated with a bouquet of white flowers. Two teddy bears stand on top of the cake, one wearing a groomsman suit and one wearing a white wedding dress. 

“A New Adult Contemporary Romance” as the heading.

“Project Sugar and Spice” in cursive font. 

Beta reader comments sit on the left and right:
“Man is petty, i’ll give him that!”
“Get me into a bakery right this second!”
*Screams in bisexual panic* “Lydia, marry me!”
“THIS LINE! THIS LINE RIGHT HERE!”
“Beautiful imagery! If only I had a kitchen like this!” 
“I’m tired of you making me hungry every single time I read another page!”

“Coming to a bookstore near you!” sits at the bottom as a second heading

A poster with 9 vertical lines - 4 in shades of blue, the other 5 with pictures in them. The longest image is a side profile of an Indian bride, focused on the dupatta covering her head and a portion of her red skirt. In a clockwise fashion, the next image is of hands holding flower garlands of red and yellow. The third is a blurry image of a man in a winter jacket and hat behind a table holding festive items. And then a little bit of a turban with a blurry veiled woman in the background. The last and smallest photo is of the torso and legs of a child sitting on a table with an adult facing them. We can only see hands and legs.

At the bottom left of the poster are the words NOW AVAILABLE. At the top is the title FACETS in cursive. Under that reads SHORT STORIES BY ARADHNA K. and under that LOVE | HEARTBREAKS | FRIENDSHIPS | HOPE.

A promotional poster for the novel Picture Us, Falling by Quintana McConnell. Across the top are three photographs: a person writing at a desk with a typewriter and scattered papers; a Starbucks cup resting on a newspaper with a political headline; and a person sitting outdoors on a stone bench holding a coffee cup. Below the images, the title “PICTURE US, FALLING” appears in a distressed, bold font. Above the title, text describes the book as a 71,000‑word upmarket novel set in 2012 Seattle, with a cynical male main character and a guarded, grieving female main character, and notes it is for fans of The Last Love Note and The Things We Left Unfinished. A short synopsis explains that a cynical Seattle journalist meets a young woman determined to stay small and unattached, and their connection changes them both. At the bottom, a silhouette of the Seattle skyline sits above the words “COMING SOON – TO A QUERY NEAR YOU.”

A man who makes a living chasing truth but avoids his own.
A love that arrives exactly when it shouldn’t, and isn’t meant to last.

Made to look like the front page of a newspaper, the top reads CURRENTLY DRAFTING. Under that, in bigger font is THE CUPID CURE, with a caret between R and E in a dark red pointing to an S in that same colour between the two letters. Under this are A NA ROMCOM   BY ARADHNA K.   OWNVOICES.

There is a picture of a frosted window pane with a small heart on the left and a cupid in sunlight on the bottom right. To the right of the window pane is a bunch of text starting with 'AMITA JAIN HAS NEVER BEEN ON A SECOND DATE. EVER.'

The rest of the text on the page under this sentence is the synopsis of the book. This reads: 'Her mother and her best friend insist it's because she hasn't met the right person. Her sister thinks she's just plain unlucky in love. Her Nani is adamant, however, that she is cursed. And after all these years? Amita is inclined to believe her.'

In a brown box under this, text in the colour of the background reads 'A MATCHMAKER WITH A SECRET. A JOURNALIST IN SEARCH OF A STORY.' Under this box: 'IT'S THE CLASH OF THE AGES - AND MAYBE A CURSE WILL BE BROKEN ALONG THE WAY.'

To the left of the cupid picture, the synopsis continues:
'But she's fine, really. So what if sometimes her heart aches as she sees the people around her fall in love and start families and lives together? So what if sometimes she is so unbearably lonely but there's no one to talk to who can understand? She has taken her curse and turned it into a thriving matchmaking business. 100% success rate.

Too bad Carlos Sanchez doesn't believe in 100% success rates.'

At the bottom of the page is a piece of dialogue:
"YOU HAVE TO WANT IT TO WORK."
"YOU'RE RIGHT. I DIDN'T. NOT WITH HER."

Amita Jain has never been on a second date. Ever. (A matchmaker with a secret.) Carlos Sanchez doesn't believe in her 100% success rate. (A journalist in search of a story.) It's the clash of the ages - and maybe a curse will be broken along the way.
