Jasper was still in shock as Bella tucked into her salad.
Alice chuckled quietly before giving Bella a glare. “So, have you come up with
anything? If you’re going the BDSM route, I’ve found a few places we can go to
research.”
“I’m not going that way, Ali,” Bella replied. “I refuse to
be a sheep that goes down that path. It’s not me.”
“If Edward suggested it, would you do it?” Alice countered.
“Mary Alice Brandon Whitlock, if you want to continue being
my literary agent, I suggest you stop pushing this,” Bella snapped. Her harsh
tone broke Jasper’s gaze as he scowled at Bella. “Don’t you start, too. Your
wife is pushing me to write something that I do not feel comfortable with.”
“Alice, stop being so Alice-y,” Jasper teased, tucking a
hair behind her ear. “What are the ideas that you do have?”
“I sent you a word doc,” Bella replied. “It’s all there.”
Alice took out her phone and opened the email, nodding and
smiling. “Okay, you’re forgiven for being a pain in the ass about the BDSM
story. These are all great.”
“Which one should I do?” Bella asked. “I know where I’m
leaning, but I’m curious what catches your eye.”
“The sequel to Mafia
Princess looks intriguing. Spinning it to where Antonia is pulled back into
the darkness of being the daughter of a mafia don and Caden following her.
Plus, the sex scenes between those two are hot. That’s why it was a best
seller,” Alice nodded, reading Bella’s notes. “However, the reasoning behind it
would have to be clearer. Caden is an US Attorney and Antonia is a writer. How
do they get lured back into that life?”
“Good point,” Bella nodded, popping in a piece of chicken. “What
else?”
“I love the paranormal romance you’ve got going … the broken
angel living on earth because he started World War II? That is just fucking
interesting. I can tell that you’ve got the most notes on that one, even
character names and a basic plot diagram,” Alice said. “Working title?”
“Out of the Darkness,”
Bella replied. “Their happily ever after will be a different spin on my usual.
Did you see the ending?”
“No way! I think you need to do this one,” Alice breathed. “It’s dark, twisted, snarky and totally bad ass.”
