Complete three-book planning package, 316 pages: three premises, three codices, every chapter of all three books outlined and prompted, a launch kit for each book, plus the series bible, rapid-release launch plan and box-set strategy — already written. One buyer only. When it’s claimed, it’s gone.

A complete three-book small-town romantic comedy series — three books fully built, ready to publish back-to-back.

Four friends. One trivia team. Every answer but the obvious one.

For eight years, four college friends have played Tuesday pub trivia at The Crooked Pint in Copper Bend, Wisconsin, as the Know-It-Alls. They've come second forty-one times. A librarian who's never been wrong. A kindergarten teacher who's never kept a secret. A large-animal vet who's never said a feeling out loud. A history teacher who's never once been late — for her. They know everything except how to fall in love.

Most friend-group rom-com series are three unrelated romances that happen to share a coffee shop. This one runs the other way. The trivia league is the engine: every book has a weekly quiz night, a season-long competition, a commissioner with a 46-page rulebook, and a ruling that traps the next couple together. The league's Rule 31 — mentioned in passing in Book 1 — is the reason Book 2 exists. Two best friends finish each other's answers in the background of Books 1 and 2, and Book 3 finally tells you why. And one beloved bar is up for sale from the first chapter of Book 1 to the last chapter of Book 3.

Every running gag has a setup and a payoff. Every couple appears in the other books as side characters, happy and settled. And every book ends by handing the reader straight to the next one — Book 1's epilogue and Book 2's first chapter are the same night. The continuity is written into all twenty-three documents.

The Books

Book 1 — TECHNICALLY CORRECT

Reference librarian Tessa Lindqvist has a binder of every trivia question her team has ever got wrong. When the new quizmaster — a broke, cancelled TV game-show writer named Rhett Sutherland, back in the hometown he swore he'd never return to — marks her right answer wrong in front of the whole town, she files a four-page complaint with footnotes. The commissioner's ruling: from now on, every question Rhett writes must be fact-checked. By her. Every Sunday.

A four-hour war over whether a tomato is a berry. A library fundraiser co-hosted by two people who can't agree how to say "GIF." A first kiss in the 900s stacks that both of them insist the other started. And when Tessa finds out secondhand that LA wants Rhett back, she does the thing she does best — decides she already knows the answer. He answers with a twelve-part championship question about a reference librarian. The final answer: "Yes. I'm staying."

Book 2 — DOUBLE OR NOTHING

On winter league opening night, kindergarten teacher Hallie Fairley signs what she thinks is a charity raffle sheet — it had a picture of a puppy on it. It's the team roster for Quizteama Aguilera, the firehouse team her best friends have spent a decade trying to beat, and under Rule 31 it's binding. The only way off is a captain's release for "conduct detrimental to team cohesion," and at Station 2 nothing is more detrimental than dating the captain. So she proposes a fake relationship to Asher Rourke — grumpy, enormous, forty words to her in two years — who agrees because his mother is bringing a "nice girl from church" to his brother's wedding.

Hallie can't keep a secret. The firehouse refuses to vote her off. A fire captain performs the Stop, Drop and Roll song in full gear for nineteen five-year-olds, hauls her out of a frozen river after a charity plunge, and dances the Cha Cha Slide. Then she overhears "It's not real" and asks to be released. At the championship, he wagers everything on the double-or-nothing final — and writes the honest answer instead of the right one.

Book 3 — FINAL ANSWER

Large-animal vet Bianca Haddad and history teacher Kip Delaney have been best friends for thirteen years. Senior spring, they dated for exactly eleven days — until Kip said "I love you," Bianca said "We should stay friends," and he agreed so fast she decided he was relieved. They've never talked about it. Now the commissioner has drawn them as a pairs team, and the top pair goes to the Wisconsin Pairs Classic, where the $20,000 prize could save The Crooked Pint.

Flashcards on farm calls. A 3 a.m. calving in a thunderstorm with Kip reciting the presidents to keep everyone calm. A road trip to Door County with one hotel room left, a pillow wall, and a fish-boil fireball. She's counting the days. On day eleven he says it again — and this time, he won't settle. The finale closes every thread: the bar saved, a proposal, and a deadpan heroine who takes the microphone in front of the whole town to say the thing she's never said out loud.

Why This Series Sells

Romantic comedy is the #2 romance subgenre on Kindle, and its midlist is growing. The top-20 blockbusters have cooled slightly while total romcom revenue has risen — success is spreading to new author brands with consistent series output. Romance > Romantic Comedy is a Hot Mainstream shelf (top-20 average sales rank around 600, an estimated 150–190 daily sales per title), and the package pairs it with Humorous Fiction, a Hot Niche shelf with a sales-to-competition ratio around 7.4 where a new release can chart quickly.

Every book carries a winning trope stack. Stacked-trope books outperform single-trope books across current romcom charts. Book 1 runs enemies to lovers (the #1 searched romance trope) with forced proximity and he falls first. Book 2 runs fake dating with grumpy/sunshine — the exact "fake dating + grumpy/sunshine + he falls first" formula in current chart analysis. Book 3 runs friends to lovers with second chance, a 2026 trend, plus one bed and a road trip.

Friend-group series are the read-through engine of romcom. Interconnected standalones — a different couple each book, the same friends in every one — are the model behind the genre's biggest small-town series. Each book here introduces the next couple early, keeps them visible but unspotlighted, and hands the reader directly to the next book. Romantic comedy series typically see 65–70% read-through from Book 1 to Book 2 when the next couple is visible and the next book is ready; this package is built around it.

An unclaimed hook. The shelf is full of bakeries, bookshops and offices. Nobody owns pub trivia. A weekly quiz night gives every book a built-in comic set piece, a scoreboard and a season-long competition — structure that drafts fast and reads fast, and a pitch that works in one line on BookTok.

Closed door widens the audience. Every book is kissing on page and fade to black, reaching the devoted closed-door romcom readership, with Dial the Heat™ flagged throughout for authors whose pen names run warmer.

Three distinct emotional registers. Book 1 is sharp and competitive — a rivalry with a rulebook. Book 2 is bright and chaotic — a sunshine heroine running circles around a grump. Book 3 is the warmest and most tender — thirteen years of pining paid off in one speech. A trilogy built to reward readers who finish it, not one that repeats the same note three times.

A complete, tracked series. Three league seasons — fall, winter, spring — each mapped chapter by chapter in its book's Codex, with every running gag, callback and seed tracked to the chapter it's planted and paid off. The Series Bible tracks the whole trilogy from freshman orientation to the final epilogue and confirms every thread closes by the last sentence.

Built for rapid release specifically. The package is engineered around a 4–6 week cadence: next-book pre-orders at every launch, back matter sequenced across all three books, free days and a Countdown Deal on Book 1 timed to KDP's rules, a series-complete push the day Book 3 goes live, and $9.99 box-set copy ready for readers who wait for a series to finish.
