A FRIDAY FUNNY

A couple days late with this, but we’re going to laugh over some Mardi Gras/Lent funnies, anyway.

FREE BOOK FRIDAY

I wish I had a copy of Sandra Brown’s Fat Tuesday to give away…that’s the book I think of every. single. year. when Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday/Lent rolls around. :blowkiss   But this is what I grabbed from the pile, so it will have to do…King of the Desert, Captive Bride, a Harlequin Presents by Jane Porter.

To enter the giveaway for this book, simply leave a comment to today’s post that includes the code FBF—for “Free Book Friday,” of course—to let me know you’re interested in the drawing. (U.S. residents only for the prize, please, but everyone is welcome to chat.)

Winner will be announced during our Happy Sunday post on…well, you know, Sunday.

Winner is responsible for contacting me with her mailing information—i.e. I will not be contacting you—so be sure to check back in or you might not even know you won! :curses

(If prize isn’t claimed within 14 days, another name may be drawn or item may be tossed back into the goody bag to be re-used for a future giveaway.)

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
