Trend-Driven Story Blueprint
Story Blueprints are done-with-you story foundations for romance authors who are writing with AI.
Each Blueprint gives you:
-
A fully developed premise
-
A detailed story codex (characters, relationship logic, pacing, tone, genre guardrails)
-
Clear guidance for how to turn your decisions into:
-
an outline
-
chapter-level direction
-
consistent, voice-safe drafting with AI
-
You don’t get a locked outline or pre-written chapters.
You get something more powerful: A story you’ve already shaped — before AI ever writes a word.
The Story Blueprints are designed to be used alongside AI, step by step.
What’s Inside Each Blueprint
Each Story Blueprint is ~30 -page professional guide, not a worksheet or prompt pack.
You’ll get:
Market Positioning & Reader Psychology
So you know what romance readers expect right now — and where stories quietly fail.
Premise Engineering
A load-bearing premise that can actually sustain a full novel (and a series).
Full Story Codex
Including:
-
genre & tone rules
-
heroine psychology
-
hero psychology
-
relationship logic
-
setting as emotional pressure
This is what keeps your story consistent when AI starts drafting fast.
Story Logic & Structural Guardrails
So pacing stays intentional and the middle doesn’t sag.
AI Translation & Misuse Guardrails
Exactly how to use AI without flattening voice, rushing intimacy, or resolving conflict too early.
Series Strategy
How to reuse the Blueprint across future books without repetition or escalation fatigue.
Who These Blueprints Are For
These are for you if you:
-
want to use AI intentionally (not blindly)
-
prefer steering the story over following a template
-
want flexibility without chaos
They’re especially helpful if you’ve tried AI and thought: “This is fast — but I don’t feel like it’s really MY story.”
Most AI writing systems either:
-
take over the story, or
-
leave you cleaning up the mess later.
The Story Blueprints give you a third option:
You decide first.
AI supports second.
How This Works
The Story Blueprints are designed to be used with AI, while keeping you in control of the story.
Here’s the process:
Step 1: Start with the Blueprint
You begin by reading through the premise and story codex.
This is where you make the key creative decisions:
-
adjust character motivations or backstory
-
decide how the relationship should unfold
-
set boundaries for tone, pacing, and intimacy
Nothing is locked. You’re shaping the story before any drafting begins.
Step 2: Customize It to Fit Your Voice
Think of the Blueprint as a starting point — not a template.
You can:
-
change names, details, or emotional emphasis
-
simplify or deepen the conflict
-
tailor the story to your preferred writing style
By the end of this step, you have a story foundation that feels like yours.
Step 3: Give AI Clear Direction
Once your decisions are made, you give AI:
-
the customized premise
-
the story codex
-
and instructions to create an outline that follows your rules
Because the decisions are already made, AI isn’t guessing — it’s executing.
Step 4: Shape Each Chapter as You Go
As you draft:
-
you decide what each chapter needs to accomplish emotionally
-
you guide AI using the codex
-
you revise and refine with confidence
AI supports the drafting, but you stay in charge of the story.

Small Town Second Chance Romance
After more than a decade away, Emma Cole returns to Maple Harbor to help her mother prepare the family home for sale. It’s practical. Temporary. A clean ending to a chapter she closed long ago.
Then she runs into Jack Sullivan.
Jack is everything Emma left behind—the love she didn’t choose, the town she escaped, the version of herself she had to abandon to move forward. While Emma built a life elsewhere, Jack stayed, putting down roots and interpreting her departure as rejection of both him and the place they shared.
When circumstances force them to work together, old wounds resurface alongside a connection neither ever truly let go of.
At its heart, this is a second-chance small-town romance about opposite choices, unresolved love, and the question that won’t stay buried:
Can you move on from the past… without leaving your heart behind?
Small Town Hockey Romance
After years away, Mara Bennett returns to her hometown to manage operations for the local semi-pro hockey team during a make-or-break transition season.
Mara expects long hours, limited authority, and constant scrutiny. She does not expect Luke Calder — the team’s veteran captain and the boy she once loved.
Luke never left. He built his identity around the rink, the team, and the town that raised him. He interpreted Mara’s departure as rejection — not just of him, but of the life they shared.
As they are forced into close collaboration, unresolved history collides with professional boundaries and community expectations.
The emotional question driving the story becomes:
Can two people with different definitions of success learn to choose each other intentionally — without asking either to disappear?
Small Town Later-in-Life Romance
After years of living independently, Claire Morgan returns to her coastal hometown to help her aging aunt transition out of the family business.
Her life is stable, competent, and deliberately contained.
Claire does not return seeking romance. She returns to fulfill an obligation — and expects to leave once it’s complete.
What she does not expect is Daniel Reed: a widower, longtime resident, and man who has also rebuilt his life around steadiness rather than longing.
Both have learned how to live without asking for more.
As they are drawn into shared responsibilities and quiet companionship, attraction surfaces — along with the question neither has wanted to ask:
Is choosing love now an expansion — or an unnecessary risk?
Small Town Second Chance Ranch Cozy Mystery Romance
Ten years ago, Jessa Hart left Montana and the man she loved to build a life anywhere but home. She never planned to return to Red Creek Ranch.
Then her grandmother dies and leaves Jessa half the land—along with the one person she never wanted to see again.
Colton Hayes is everything Jessa walked away from: the ranch that demanded too much, the man who chose duty over their future, the life she had to refuse to find her own. While Jessa built a career that kept her moving, Colton stayed, turning himself into stone and the land into survival.
When the will forces them to work the ranch together for a year—or lose it entirely—old anger collides with a connection that never quite died.
But Red Creek holds more than painful memories. A decades-old mystery about the ranch’s previous owner resurfaces, and solving it becomes the only way to keep the inheritance. As Jessa and Colton investigate the past, they’re forced to confront their own: the choice that broke them, the years that changed them, and whether two people who hurt each other once can build something new from what remains.
At its heart, this is a second-chance ranch romance about impossible choices, the cost of staying versus leaving, and the question neither has wanted to answer:
Can you rebuild what’s broken… or does some damage go too deep?
Single Parent Workplace Romance in a Beach Town Bookstore
Two years after losing her husband, Sophie Hayes has rebuilt her life around routine and responsibility. She runs Pages & Pour, a struggling bookstore-café in the beach town of Harborview, raises her eight-year-old daughter Maisie, and keeps her heart carefully guarded.
When wine consultant Noah Bennett arrives to help save her business with book-and-wine pairing events, Sophie is skeptical. She doesn’t need complications. She doesn’t need disruption. She certainly doesn’t need to fall for the quiet man who fits into her carefully ordered world in ways she never expected.
But Noah is patient. Thoughtful. Kind to Maisie in a way that makes Sophie’s heart ache with possibility.
As wine-and-book nights become the town’s favorite gathering, Sophie and Noah navigate the careful dance of workplace professionalism, growing attraction, and the most important question: What happens when the person you’re falling for is becoming part of your family—including your daughter’s heart?
At its heart, this is a single parent workplace romance about trust rebuilt slowly, love that makes room for existing commitments, and the quiet courage of letting someone in when you’ve already lost everything once.
Can you build new love while honoring old loss… or does protecting your heart mean protecting yourself from happiness?
Forced Proximity Inn Romance
Hazel Monroe never wanted to inherit Cedar Ridge Inn. She spent her twenties running from exactly this kind of commitment—stuck in one place, tied to one responsibility, trapped by someone else’s dream.
But her grandmother believed Hazel would save it. And now the failing mountain inn is hers, along with the debt, the repairs, and the deadline: prove it can survive, or lose everything.
The bank sends Ethan Cross to decide Cedar Ridge’s fate. He’s 28, ruthlessly logical, and built his career on closing businesses just like this one. His job is simple: assess, recommend, foreclose if necessary. Sentiment doesn’t pay bills. Numbers don’t lie.
Then the storm hits.
Roads close. Power fails. For three weeks, Hazel and Ethan are trapped at Cedar Ridge—just them, the inn, and a question neither can avoid: Can she save a legacy she never wanted? Can he destroy someone’s family history for the sake of fiscal reality?
She thinks he’s cold and soulless, measuring heritage in spreadsheets.
He thinks she’s naive and reckless, letting emotion override truth.
But forced intimacy in isolation reveals what neither expected. She’s not avoiding commitment—she’s terrified of failing at it. He’s not emotionless—he’s protecting himself from wanting things he can’t afford.
And as the snow keeps falling, both must confront the hardest truth: Sometimes love means choosing between what you believe and who you’re becoming.
At its heart, this is a forced proximity romance about what we inherit versus what we choose, and whether two people who see the world completely differently can build something together without losing themselves.
Can you bridge the divide between opposing truths… or are some differences too deep to cross?

Each Blueprint is built using a combination of professional market-analysis tools—primarily K-lytics and Publisher Rocket—to ensure every premise and codex is aligned with real reader demand. This means you’re getting data-backed story foundations designed to succeed in today’s market. - If other authors are using the same Blueprint, won’t our stories be identical?
Not at all. Think of a Story Blueprint like a recipe you customize to taste.
The Blueprint gives you the proven structure:
- A premise framework (second chance + small town)
- Character psychology foundations (what drives them, what they fear)
- Relationship logic (why they broke up, what needs to heal)
- Genre guardrails (pacing, intimacy progression)
You make it completely yours by deciding:
- Character details: Is she a photographer or a chef? Is he a carpenter or a teacher?
- Setting specifics: Coastal Maine or mountain Colorado? Bookstore or brewery?
- Backstory: Did they break up over career ambitions or family pressure?
- Tone: Light and cozy or emotionally intense?
- Heat level: Closed door, steamy, or somewhere between?
- Secondary cast: Best friend? Meddling parent? Rival love interest?
- Pacing: Do they reconnect slowly or does chemistry ignite immediately?
Same Blueprint. Completely different books.
The Blueprint ensures the story structure works. Your creative choices make it uniquely yours.
Bottom line: 100 authors could use the same Blueprint, and readers would never know. Each story would feel distinct, fresh, and authentic to that author’s voice.
