holding our for a (Harlequin) hero
We’ve had a blast the past couple weeks, lining up characters for my Harlequin Desire in-progress. But today’s the really fun one…we need to get a hot & sexy hero lined up for the Art Fact Sheet (which later leads to the book’s cover) & as a nice visual aid for Moi. :whip
So my hero’s name is Alexander Bajoran. He’s the CEO of Barjoran Designs, a gem & jewelry design company that’s been in his family for years. Somewhere along the way bad things happened, leading to a betrayal of the heroine’s family. And when she spots him in town on business, she knows who he is, but he is utterly clueless.
Without spoiling much, I’ll tell you that they end up in bed together, & a year later, he discovers that he might just be the father of her infant son. But then, there’s that whole betrayal thing standing between them. :oops
Alex has black hair & blue eyes. Very handsome & distinguished, but in a hubba-hubba drool-worthy way, of course.
Here are some of the wealthy business types I’ve zeroed in on…
Adrian Pasdar — I still adore him from his Profit days, & he rocks a suit like nobody’s business.
Richard Armitage — Gotta admit, he didn’t do much for me until I found this picture. Then I went Wowza! & haven’t stopped drooling since.
Eric Bana — Handsome, leaning strongly toward cute. And he does nice things for a suit, too, right?
Colin Farrell — Normally, his bad boy image wouldn’t work for one of my Harlequin Desire heroes. But in this case, I think he gets a pass. If by “pass” you mean, “Holy crap, he looks hot!” :dropmouth
So what do you think? Who should play this story’s hero in my brain…& maybe one day on the big screen? :winkwink
I’m also open to suggestions, since I can’t spend all of my time surfing the ‘net for suited-up hotties. :runrun

For heaven’s sake…for some reason, today’s post wasn’t allowing comments. Do not ask me why; I certainly didn’t set it that way. And thanks to Darling Jen C. for alerting me, cuz I probably wouldn’t have noticed on my own. :curses
Since I’m commenting now, I think it’s fixed. Let’s see…

:cuffs My vote is for Richard Armitage. He looks very upscale business man but has those beautiful blue eyes that are nothing but trouble. He doesn’t look boyish but more challenging than the rest and I love a challenge.

I’m back! Not nearly caught up yet, but keep the great suggestions coming. And also, if you can post links to pics of the hotties you’re suggesting in business suits (looking uber rich & Desire-worthy :winkwink ) I’d love to take a look & add them to the list. :blowkiss

Great choices, but I have to add James Scott to the list. He’s British, but absolutely BEAUTIFUL in a suit! :jumping

Lolol Richard Armitage for me. 😉 Love his sultry looks. I have to admit there is not an ugly one among them ………………….

I was thinking either Gerard Butler or James McAvoy but I would settle for Eric Bana and I didn’t know who was Richard Armitage but I have to say he’s a hottie.

Ooh, Gerry…. :twirl :cuffs
And I rarely get to do this cuz I’m not usually online this late, but CONGRATS for grabbing the Devil Horns as the last commentor of the day. :jumping
I’m going to give an honorary pair to Darling Cindy, too, because she was the last commentor before midnight & I was about to give them to her when your note popped up. :drinkup
Hmmm…two Bad Girls running around The Dungeon tonight. This could get dangerous. :whip

Right now, my heart pumps for Jensen Ackles & Michael Weatherly :jumping buuut I couldn’t find the best pictures of both of them in suit, sooo I think I choose Adrian Pasdar, I like him in “HEROES” series :blowkiss

I think Collin Farrel works best out of the four. If you’re looking for a suit worthy hero, how about Matt Bomer from White Collar?
