Nina felt a pair of eyes watching her. Warm, gilded brown, like the whiskey in her glass. That was how she met Roman Conway for the first time. Three years later, she meets him again, and she is pulled back into a past that cracks the surface of the seemingly perfect life she curated. ***** As Nina Jordan admires New York City from a rooftop, she seems content. She is surrounded by her closest friends, and Cameron - the man she is marrying. But when Nina goes to get a drink at the bar, she bumps into Roman Conway. To Roman, Nina looks different. Her signature curls have been pulled straight, and cut into a blunt bob, and there is a dark melancholy about her. The biggest change he is struck by is that she no longer looks at him the way she used to. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] Cover designed by April Alforque

But when it comes to snagging the most coveted emerging author's spot in the Lakewood College Student Symposium, Lupita knows that she needs to craft a story so epic, she'll blow everyone -- especially her number one nemesis -- out of her way. Armed with a pair of suspiciously magical fishnet tights and a newfound desire to own her sexuality, the shy, conservative, always good-girl Lupita devises the perfect non-fiction entry for competition -- the true account of how she brought Markus Barlee to his knees.

I'll try to explain things the best I can, providing examples as well. There seems to be a lot of demand for this, and I might as well give it a nice format too. :)
