Writer’s Prompt: Two Heels, One Heartthrob, and a Murder Plot: Romance, Revenge, and Really Bad Decisions

Spread the love


What happens when love triangles get sharp edges? Two brilliant (but slightly unhinged) women set their sights on the same man, and neither plans to back down. Spoiler: someone’s going to need alibis and a good dry cleaner.

Starting Paragraph:

Lena always believed in the power of fate. Fate brought her to Michael in a rainstorm. Fate also delivered Ivy, her coworker-turned-archnemesis, straight into his bed. Now Lena’s belief in fate is being replaced with a very detailed plan—and a locked drawer full of suspicious tools. But what if Ivy’s plan was already in motion?


Three Deep-Dive Questions for Writers:

  1. What emotional wounds or insecurities drive each woman to such extremes rather than simply walking away?
  2. Is Michael truly worth the chaos, or is he just a mirror reflecting their own desires and desperation?
  3. If one of them “wins,” what does that even look like—victory or self-destruction?
