Prompt Post Ready! :)
Three ways to participate in this challenge:
1. If you already have a good ol' bodice-ripper lying around that you'd like to adapt for a prompt, have at it. Just no copypasta-ing the whole text and playing search-and-replace with names. I WILL find out ;)
2. If you have a general romance-novel idea you want to write out, awesome. All genres are being allowed here, contemporary, paranormal, Christian, teen, historical, Regency, suspense, what have you...as long as it features beautiful people falling in love and all the drama that entails :)
3. Or if you like, prompts have been pre-collected. These are all blurbs from covers or ads for real romance novels some I may or may not have in my shelf. Details to prompts can be added or deleted or changed around (for example, if the plot is about a woman inheriting a department store empire and you'd like to change it to a record company instead), long as the basic plot stays intact :) If you’d like to use one of the prompts drop a comment on this post and I’ll mark it as taken.

3. When posting chaptered fic, please leave links to the previous chapters for archiving/reading convienience. You may link to outside the comm, but not to a locked journal. Two strikes and you're out on this one.
4. This isn't so much a guideline as a heads-up, but here we go- a very common trope to romance novels, as we all know, is babies. After giving some thought, I am going to allow m-preg, as long as it's labeled. It'd be a shame to see a comm fall apart due to squabbling over a YMMV-factor (again, be civil).

And with all the srs bzness out of the way, let's get to the prompts!
Double Dating With The Dead
Psychic Selena James never saw this coming. First, famously skeptical (and sinfully sexy) writer Trent Sanders calls her delusional on TV, and now she’s been challenged to spend two weeks with him in a haunted hotel. If she can’t prove to him that ghosts exist, she’ll answer to Trent’s private wager: one night in his bed.
Trent doesn’t need a sixth sense to see that Selena is blessed with a body that could certainly raise the dead, if not talk to them. And with the two sex-starved ghosts in residence determined to get Trent and Selena together, things are moving quickly from “haunted” to extremely hot…
Accidentally Engaged
Clare Ivars is finishing up her day at a psychic fair when she gets blackmailed into giving a phony reading to a prospective bride, warning her off. It works a little too well, and the bride runs out, leaving her engagement ring behind.
Clare decides she has to return the ring and fix things between Rachel and her intended, Jack. Falling hard and fast for Jack herself wasn’t part of the plan-nor was being mistaken for Jack’s fiancée by his aged grandmother. With misunderstandings all around, Clare is thinking of packing in her Tarot cards for good…but not before making a play for her very own Jack of Hearts…
The Black Sheep and the Hidden Beauty
Raphael “Rafe” Santiago may have left the Bronx streets years ago, but the streets have never left him. He can tell at once that horse trainer Elena Caulfield is definitely hiding something, and he intends to find out what it is and take care of it-his way. But his way wasn’t supposed to include feeling an intense attraction to the tomboyish Elena. The closer he gets to her, the harder it is to control the fiery passion he’s worked hard to keep cooled, the kind that can leave a man open to danger. Because whatever secret Elena’s protecting, it’s big…and worth killing for.
Kept
Security is Derek Taggart’s game, and he plays it straight-no margin for error, no time to fool around...except with one hot little number who changes everything. He takes her home when she needs a ride- one she’ll never forget. The problem is Derek can’t forget her, a total about-face for a guy who keeps his enemies closer than his lovers. Then he finds out the sexy dynamo is Alyssa Miles, notorious party girl and darling of the gossip rags. It’s time to walk away and never look back, which would be a hell of a lot easier if his agency didn’t desperately need the high-profile gig her family’s offering: a minor detail that consists mainly of Derek watching Alyssa 24/7. Keeping an eagle eye on every inch of Alyssa’s nubile body isn’t exactly a hardship-the problem is keeping his hands off and his brain on when things go dangerously wrong...
The Object of Love
It’s been five years since Lacey Burnham saw Sean Logan, and in that time her son Calvin’s best friend has turned from a surly youth into a self-assured young man. Crushed with grief over Cal’s sudden death, Lacey offers Sean a place to stay while he’s in town- an innocent proposal that quickly becomes anything but. Against every shred of logic she possesses, Lacey is falling hard for Sean and for a heady carnal bliss she’s never experienced before. But the ghosts of the past are waiting, and sooner or later, every shadow must face the light of day…
The Man For Me
The bragging. The pin-ups. The sweaty socks. Please oh please, set me free! Female sportswriter J.T. Green wants out of the locker room-until star pitcher Tommy Bainbridge walks in. Tommy defines the word hot: He’s tall, a terrific kisser, and a total catch. J.T. wants everything he has to give. But Gilbeytown, PA, needs their hometown boy back where he belongs and if his plans to help get leaked to the press, there’s going to be hell to pay. Distracting a woman as determined and downright sexy as J.T. isn’t going to be easy. Unless he can show her how heavenly it feels to be held in his powerful arms and…well, hey. She seems to like it. A lot. And so does Tommy.
It’s clear as a freshly chalked baseline that Tommy and J.T. are crazy in love. To hell with reality. They don’t care if they never come back.
A Girl Like Me

Now a radio contest has put her up-close-and-personal with mega-hot singer Haneef and their chemistry is too sizzling for Elite to stop pretending. And as the clock ticks down fast for this ‘hood Cinderella, the one shot she’ll have to save her family and her dreams promises nothing but heartbreak.

Say No To Joe?
