A bit of mystery in the copy is good. “They killed her. Now he’s hunting them.” Who is she? Why’s he hunting her? First thing that springs to mind is romance, love, and sex. And he’s hunting them! Vengeance stories rock. Tons of violence. And it’s justified. Sweet. In 7 words.

Folks will scoff at CYBORG GUN LADY and say this style is just for male audiences. Let’s see romance. “He’s got a pure heart, but a tragic past stains his future blood red. She can save him from his pain, but she may lose everything in the process.”

What is that book even about? Who cares. Some romance readers would 1-click purchase it straight from this tweet if they could.
