About Not on the Same Page:

An opposites attract romance set in the publishing world, perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Colleen Hoover.

**DELUXE LIMITED EDITION FIRST PRINT RUN—featuring beautiful sprayed edges. Special edition features only available for a limited time and while supplies last.**

They agreed on no strings. But their hearts keep landing on the same page.

A year ago, literary agent Trina McBryde and editor Casey Endersen ended their no-strings arrangement. It was perfect for two people who didn’t want a relationship. But what started as a way to blow off steam and have a little fun almost put their careers at stake, along with their feelings for each other.

When an important publishing conference brings them together again, the desire they tried to deny is back, and stronger than ever. But the real challenge comes afterward—Casey needs Trina to sign a promising new writer, which means that after a year of avoiding each other, they’ll be forced to work together again. Late-night calls, whispered strategy sessions, and stolen glances make every professional interaction dangerously personal.

Every secret meeting carries the risk of exposure. If anyone finds out, they could lose more than just their jobs—they could lose their reputations.

But Casey has already fallen…again. And Trina is running out of ways to resist.

As professional boundaries blur, they’ll have to decide if being on the same page means following the rules—or finally writing their own.

Join us to celebrate the release of the YA romance “Buried Feelings” by Kit Rosewater with a treasure hunt at The Well Red Damsel!!!

The Well Red Damsel is turning into an escape room and only you can help find the treasure 👀🪎

The treasure hunt takes place Saturday, July 18th and starts promptly at 4pm!

🎟️ Eventbrite tickets are required. Each ticket includes a copy of the book, Buried Feelings, and a SIGNED bookplate!

As this is a YA romance, this is an event for younger Damsels too!!!

About Buried Feelings:
When a San Francisco treasure hunt ropes two ex-besties back together, they’ll end up digging into their own complicated, buried feelings in this q***r YA rom com!

“A delightful romance, treasure hunt, and celebration of q***r history all rolled into one.”—Kelly Quindlen, bestselling author of She Drives Me Crazy

Cam was the one who discovered the hunt. He brought it to Ivy like an offering, took her hand as they combed through San Francisco, searching for treasure and conspiring against the heteronormative agenda. But that was back then.

Now juniors, they’re both out and proud—Cam as a trans man and Ivy as gay—but their friendship isn’t as assured. Problem is, Ivy can’t reveal Cam’s past betrayal without airing closely guarded secrets of her own.

As Ivy comes across the missing link in the treasure hunt from their childhood, she’s certain she can put the clues together and finally come out on top in the cat-and-mouse game Cam’s been playing with her ever since their friendship ended.

Once Cam gets wind of Ivy’s renewed interest in the hunt, the ex-best friends will go head-to-head in their search for gold. But as they get digging, they’ll uncover more things buried between them than they bargained for.
