Story Promises
Ending, POV, tense and heat for every title — the reader contract, in writing.
The promises we make
Romance runs on trust. Before you commit ten hours to a story, you deserve to know four things: does it end well, is it complete, whose head are you in, and how hot does it run. Publishers usually make you dig for these. We put them in a table.
Our HEA policy
Every book we label Romance ends in a Happily Ever After or an explicit Happy For Now — no surprise tragedies, no cliffhanger betrayals of the central couple. Thrillers and other genres play by their own rules, and their entries below say so.
