Romance, written for readers in the United States
Most romance is written for somewhere else. The accents are flat, the streets unfamiliar, the names a little off. This is the section we built for readers in the United States — the same private library, the same patient pacing, with stories that take place where you'd actually walk to.
A subletter in the East Village. The wedding upstate. A quiet weekend in the Hudson Valley. A second-chance in Charleston. The places do half the work; we write the rest.

“My new boss asked me to stay late at the firm. The office is empty. He just closed the door and said it wasn't about work.”
