  • Your hero is an anti-drug demonstrator who accidentally falls in love with a pot-head. How do they meet? What happens?
  • Your hero is an undercover cop who’s supposed to be tracking down a murderer. He doesn’t know he’s sleeping with her. She’s changed her appearance and when he finds out…what happens?

  • Your heroine loses all of her money in the housing crisis of 2007. Her daughter deserts her to go live with her father in greener pastures, her best friend moves to Tahiti with some day-laboring, bell-boy, and her job crumbles beneath her feet, along with all of her other assets. She joins a group of people who’ve also lost their jobs in the recession. She meets an amusing man within the group that has an interesting and very different outlook on life. What happens?
  • Your heroine finds out a terrible secret about her spouse. He’s been embezzling money from the government agency he works for and is a member of a group of men doing the same. When your heroine finds out, she immediately contacts someone she can trust-an old friend who happens to be working for internal affairs. While her friend sets up an undercover operation, she starts to fall for him as she admires his honesty, bravery and intelligence, as well as his irresistible charm. Write the story from the moment she discovers the embezzlement.
  • Your hero works for a software company that designs apps for smartphones and tablets. His newest app is so controversial that every news station runs a story on it.

Your hero starts to fall for this woman. What happens?
