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

Confession time…  I’m a little behind in sharing with you about my April Harlequin Desire, ON THE VERGE OF I DO.  And if you’ve been at all curious or paying attention, you’ve probably already found the cover & back cover blurb on your own. :oops

But let’s pretend I’m on the ball & that you haven’t actually found out anything about Kara & Eli’s story on your own, shall we?  That way, I get to share everything like it’s brand spanking new. :winkwink

So here they are (never before seen *VBG*) the cover & back cover blurb for ON THE VERGE OF I DO (Harlequin Desire #2150 – “Dynasties: The Kincaids” Book 4 – April 2012)…

Wedding, Interrupted

It’s hard for event planner Kara Kincaid to be planning her sister’s wedding to the man Kara’s had a crush on since childhood. Even harder when said sister calls the whole thing off. Hardest still is when the jilted groom shows Kara some very personal attention, threatening to destroy her relationship with her family—and Kara ends up in his bed, anyway.

After a just-friends engagement that just didn’t work out, hotel magnate Eli Houghton thinks he’s finally found the right woman. His new plan: convince Kara there’s no hidden agenda, and that the magic words are I do…

So what do you think…it’s good, right? :thumbsup

And you can pre-order it already, as well… :jumping
