by Melanie Milburne, author of The Venadicci Marriage Vengeance (Harlequin Presents Extra, February 2010)

I don’t know about you, but I just love being right. I stick to my guns and fight tooth and nail…er…the ones I have left after writing my current work in progress that is! Sorry about all the clichés but there you have it–the truth is finally out: Melanie Milburne can be a little stubborn at times. Actually, I prefer to think of it as persistence and determination. After all, that’s how most writers become published in the end, right?

My heroine Gabriella St Clair is also rather stubborn and finds it hard to admit to her mistakes. And let me tell you she has made plenty. The first was to marry the wrong man. Deep down she knew she shouldn’t go ahead with it, but the weight of responsibility was like a yoke upon her shoulders (ouch, another cliché!) and she didn’t see how she could get out of it without letting her family down and of course wasting an obscene amount of money. You know how much society weddings cost, well, come to think of it any wedding!

Seven years ago my hero Vinn Venadicci came back to Australia to find Gabby about to marry Tristan Glendenning, a man he hated with a passion and for good reason. But Gabby wouldn’t listen to Vinn. She considered him to be nothing but the bad-boy son of the St Clair housekeeper, even though she was shockingly, shamelessly attracted to him. That one stolen kiss the night before her wedding more or less proved that. But if anything it sent her hurtling all the faster into the disaster that awaited her…

Oh, how wise we are in hindsight. I look back on my life and think of how I would do so many things differently if I had my time again. I am sure most of you do too.  I guess it’s just part of being human, we’re not perfect and we make the odd mistake, some more than others.

Gabby has to save her family from financial ruin and Vinn is the only person who can help her. Ironic, huh? The only person in the world who can help her is the very last person on the earth she wants to see… or does she?

Of course their first face to face meeting after seven years is full of crackling tension. Vinn sees an opportunity to get Gabby right where he has always wanted her: in his bed. And yes he is ruthless, and rich and spine-tinglingly gorgeous. But it will take a while for Gabby to tell Vinn why she did the things she did and how dearly she has paid for her mistakes since.

I loved writing this story as the characters were so strong–both of them. Gabby is feisty and proud and yet soft and vulnerable underneath and Vinn is so irresistibly male–the quintessential alpha leader and protector. I loved pitting them against each other, watching as they locked horns (cliché!) and lips and other bits!

So, what about you? Are you stubborn or a bit of a pushover? Do you readily admit when you’ve made a mistake or does it take you a while to come round to eating humble pie? Cliché!  Or do you absolutely never admit when you are wrong?

I look forward to reading all of your comments.

By Jennie Lucas, author of Bought: The Greek’s Baby (Harlequin Presents, February 2010)

As you may know, last month – for the first time in 15 years – the USA Today bestseller list finally started including Harlequin and Silhouette books. As one of Harlequin’s bestselling lines, it should be no surprise to anyone that Presents has stormed the list!

In fact, I’m thrilled to report that all eight of the new February Presents releases became bona fide USA Today bestsellers yesterday, with our own Carol Marinelli’s fabulous concluding book of the Karedes continuity, The Desert King’s Housekeeper Bride, riding high at #62!

Think about that. These are the top 150 books in the country by sales – and that includes nonfiction, novels, hardcover paperbacks, everything. So Carol’s book was the 62nd most popular book in the whole country. Incredible.

And best of all, it seems certain that the trend will continue. Each month, new Presents authors, including beloved stars of the genre for whom it’s much overdue, will finally get the coveted USA Today bestseller designation.

Why is USA Today counting category books in their list for the first time since 1995? The very basic answer is apparently that they can now read the barcodes on our books. Or, as my editor explained, that “our barcodes are now compatible with the point of sale information USA Today uses to track book sales.” That one small change has brought thrilling results – and finally shows the whole country how popular our “little books” are.

When I found out yesterday that my book had made the list, I immediately called my husband, who’s been so busy at work I’ve barely seen him for the last month. He came home from work with a bottle of Dom Pérignon under his arm.

He knew that though I always have my characters drink it in stories, at $100 a bottle I’d never tasted it myself. Last night, for the first time ever, I did. My husband and I toasted each other with the fancy champagne, while the kids toasted with juice in sippy cups. An excellent vintage which we all used to wash down rice krispie treats. It was a night I’ll never forget.

For those of you who’ve just hit the list for the first time, how did you celebrate? And for those of you, published or unpublished, who dream of someday seeing your name there – what would your celebration be?

by Chantelle Shaw, author of Proud Greek, Ruthless Revenge (Harlequin Presents, February 2010)

Each time I finish a book I’m convinced that I’ll never write another one. My creativity has dried up and I’ve lost ‘it’ – whatever ‘it’ is!  Does anyone else ever feel like that?

I find writing an emotionally draining business, and for a few days after I’ve submitted a manuscript my brain is a barren wasteland (some say it’s always like that!)

But gradually ideas start to form; tangled threads of thought at first, maybe triggered from an article I’ve read in a newspaper or, just recently, a photo of a gorgeous Italian villa set beside a lake which seemed a perfect setting for a romance.

That’s when the magic begins, those little nuggets of ideas start to grow, and that all important question What if? gets to work.

The idea for my latest book PROUD GREEK, RUTHLESS REVENGE came in a strange way. My teenage daughter had an unhappy experience with a boyfriend who treated her badly and hurt her feelings. Of course I dispensed tissues and sympathy, but what surprised me was how fiercely protective my four sons were of their sister. They might yell at her when she hogs the bathroom in the mornings, but they weren’t going to stand for any other guy upsetting her!

Happily my daughter’s heart soon mended and she met a new boyfriend. But I was intrigued by the protective brother idea. I imagined a Greek hero — Thanos was hot-blooded, hot-tempered, passionate and fiercely protective of his younger sister.

What if someone had hurt his sister in some way? I wondered. But what if that person had done so unwittingly and felt terribly guilty – but facts were stacked against her and she couldn’t convince Thanos that she had never meant to cause his sister pain?

Soon my ideas for PROUD GREEK, RUTHLESS REVENGE were growing thick and fast.

Tahlia Reynolds would never have dated James Hamilton if she had known he was married. She was horrified when James’s wife Melina discovered them together, and she immediately ended her relationship with James.

Tahlia’s father’s jewellery business is facing bankruptcy, but Greek billionaire Thanos Savakis offers salvation – or so Tahlia thinks.  She is devastated when she learns that Thanos has tricked her into trusting him. He believes she broke his sister’s heart and was responsible for Melina’s terrible accident. He knows Tahlia adores her father, and he plans to take his revenge by pulling out of the deal to save Reynolds Gems.

But the best laid plans can go wrong, and Thanos’s fierce attraction to Tahlia is an unexpected complication. He is torn between his loyalty to his sister and his desire for a woman he despises. Following an alleged affair with a well-known actor, Tahlia has earned a reputation in the tabloid press as a party girl and a marriage breaker. Thanos decides to bed this treacherous English beauty. He will save her father’s company, but in return he wants her at his beck and call, day – and night!

But Thanos soon discovers that Tahlia is not the heartless husband-stealer he believed her to be. She was an innocent pawn in his brother-in-laws games – and a virgin. In his quest for revenge Thanos dishonoured Tahlia, and now he must marry her. He won’t take no for an answer, but Tahlia won’t marry a man who she is sure doesn’t love her!

So there I had it – a new plot and characters, all thanks to my daughter’s ex-boyfriend! Panic averted, until I’d finished the book and was wondering about the next one. Luckily my writers block (or ideas block) never seems to last more than a few days – and gives me time to sort out my tax forms and do some much-needed housework!

Are you ever stuck for new ideas? And how do get your imagination working again? I love the image that writers lie around on silken cushions, scoffing chocolates and waiting for the ‘muse’. Sadly I’m more likely to be clearing out unidentifiable objects wrapped in cling-film from the back of the fridge!

Best wishes,

Chantelle

by Nicola Marsh, author of Marriage: For Business or Pleasure? (Harlequin Presents, February 2010)

Is there anything quite as romantic as lovers reuniting?

I adore reading books with this theme.  There’s something special in seeing sparks fly between a hero and heroine who have ‘been there, done that’ before.

I love the snappy dialogue, the familiarity: with each other’s quirks, each other’s foibles, each other’s bodies…

In my current release, MARRIAGE: FOR BUSINESS OR PLEASURE?, Brittany Lloyd walked away from Italian bad boy Nick Mancini ten years ago.  Nick was her first love, her only love.  He stole her heart and her virginity.

Now, Britt’s back in Noosa for work and needs Nick’s help.  The rugged farm boy has become a successful hotelier and he’ll help Britt: for a price.

From the sun-drenched beaches of Noosa to the fantasy rooms in Nick’s hotel, from Jacaranda’s sugar cane plantations to Chelsea, London, Nick and Britt create sparks wherever they are!

Romantic Times magazine thought so too, with MARRIAGE: FOR BUSINESS OR PLEASURE? a Top Pick for February.

“This lovers-reunited tale is awash in passion, sensuality and plenty of sparks. The terrific characters immediately capture your attention, and from there, the pages go flying by.”

My favourite snippet from the book?

There’s a chapter where Nick and Britt reminisce about the past, in his old bedroom.  Nick still has the star medallion Britt gave him, she says it’s because he used to hang the stars and moon for her back then.  They make love.  Here’s how the chapter ends:

“She’d asked for the moon and stars.

Nick had delivered the whole damn solar system.”

So time to ‘fess up.  Any of you have any romantic tales to tell of reuniting with old lovers?

Nicola is giving away a signed copy of her current release, MARRIAGE: FOR BUSINESS OR PLEASURE?

To be in the running, share your lovers reunited story in the comments.

You’ve read the steamy first chapter, now read the synopsis and editorial feedback for Harlequin Presents Writing Competition 2009 runner-up Joanne Pibworth’s entry!

Synopsis for “Shoes, Lies and Videotape” by Joanne Pibworth

Nancy & Jack meet late one night in a hotel piano bar, and the intense spark of attraction between them inevitably tugs them straight towards the bedroom – until she spots his wedding ring and flees out into the night without her shoes.

At 29, Nancy Elliott has a failed relationship behind her with a cheating fiancé, and is picking up the pieces after enduring an emergency hysterectomy at 27.

Obviously this means she’ll never have a family of her own, and she found caring for other people’s children as a nanny too heart wrenching. She’s now transformed herself into a successful businesswoman, running her own award winning Nanny agency.

Jack McBride is a self made multi millionaire, owner of a string of eight boutique hotels, soon to become nine once the Mallorca deal goes through. He’s a widower, having lost his wife during childbirth, which left him with a maelstrom of grief and guilt. She’d been desperate for a child, and he made a private vow to never let another woman step into her shoes with Dillon. He wears his wedding ring as a daily reminder to himself and others that his heart is unavailable.

Jack tracks Nancy down to finish what they started, and he practically bribes her into being his nanny for the summer, but the sparks fly as soon as they are under the same roof in Mallorca.

Welcome to the last winning entry of the Harlequin Presents Writing Competition 2009! Today we’ll be posting the first chapter of SHOES, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE by Joanne Pibworth, the runner up in the Modern Heat section (and IHP regular :) ). And wooo boy, it’s a steamy one! ~Amy

“Shoes, Lies & Video Tape” by Joanne Pibworth

“Have you ever made love with a complete stranger?” the voice close to her ear murmured, rich, deep and sexy as hell. She didn’t need to turn around to know who was standing behind her, sending her pulse into frantic overdrive.

Nancy shook her head slowly, closing her eyes, her breath catching in her throat.

She’d noticed him as soon as she’d sat down on a high stool in the hotel piano bar. It was turned midnight, and he had a smouldering charisma that set him apart – bronzed and broad shouldered in his dinner jacket, black tie loosened casually around the undone shirt buttons at his neck. His dark hair brushed his collar; the sensual curve of his full mouth a promise of guaranteed satisfaction.

In short, he looked like he’d tumbled straight from the centrefold of a glossy magazine, and a raunchy one at that.

He’d zeroed in on her instantly too, undressing her with his eyes across the bar. And now he was right behind her, his warm mouth murmuring huskily against her hair. Leaning back against him instinctively, she noticed a small crowd of people in the doorway of the bar and jolted upright again sharply.

She felt him melt away as they advanced towards her in high spirits, crowding in to say goodnight and congratulate her for the millionth time that evening.

“You really showed ‘em Nance,” said Marie, her office manager, pointing an unsteady finger at her. “You showed ‘em how its done girl, and we are all soooo proud of you,” she swayed on her heels as she waved her arms wildly to encompass the group.

“Hey, I couldn’t have done it on my own. You guys are the best ever,” Nancy said affectionately, looking around at the team who’d helped her build Bon Nannie up into one of the best new nanny agencies in London over the last twelve months.

“This is for all of us,” she picked up the glass prism with their agency name inscribed on the base. “Best new business” she read aloud, her eyes shining as she looked at the happy faces around her.

“Thank you. All of you.” Nancy could feel a lump in her throat; she was so fond of them all. “Now, go home and get some sleep guys, eh? I’ll see you all on Monday,” They meandered off arm in arm, saluting her noisily as they went, leaving her once again alone in the bar.

The bar tender set a glass of chilled champagne in front of her.

“Compliments of the gentleman,” he said quietly.  He didn’t say who, and Nancy didn’t need to ask.

She picked up the icy champagne flute, drinking deeply from the deliciously creamy fizz, sighing with pleasure as the bubbles sparkled down her throat.

He’d slipped away, sat quietly sipping brandy, watching her.

And now he was behind her again, as if they’d never been interrupted. “I asked you a question,” he said huskily, his voice liquid silk against the heated curve of her neck.

He swung her stool slowly around to face him, his marine eyes ablaze with desire that he made no attempt to hide. Nancy felt strangely liberated by the primal instinct he unleashed in her, for once she was free of her usual rules. Slithering to her feet against him, she revelled in how he towered over her, even in her high heels.

He took the champagne glass from her fingers and placed it on the bar with deliberate care.

Close up, he was simply the most magnificent man she’d ever laid eyes on.

He radiated a sensual force field that held her a willing captive, sending thrills of lust rippling through her body.

Sliding one strong arm around her waist, he urged her closer. His other hand buried itself deep into her tawny curls, winding them gently around his fingers to tilt her head upwards.

Her smoky hazel eyes met his glittering midnight ones, seeing her own desire reflected there ten fold. It was her final undoing, knowing he felt that same urgent need.

“Kiss me,” she heard herself whisper, shocked that the words actually came out aloud.

by Kimberly Lang, author of Magnate’s Mistress…Accidentally Pregnant! (Harlequin Presents, February 2010)

People often ask writers where the ideas come from, and while some authors are good at answering that question, I’m not one of them.  Sorry. My brain is a messy place — full of 80’s music lyrics, John Donne poems, the phone number of my old dance studio, random grammatical terms (like “pronoun antecedent”), my mom’s chili recipe, Buffy trivia, the rules for Crazy Eights, and that thing I really need to do today if I ever remember what it is…

Usually, I couldn’t tell you how anything fights its way to the surface of that mess for a million bucks. It’s survival of the fittest in there, so an idea really has to have some oomph to it if it’s going to make it.

Sometimes, though, something will spark and really get my attention.  (Remember when I blogged about that Miss Manners quote that gave me Evie for The Millionaire’s Misbehaving Mistress?)  I love when that happens, because it gives me a story to tell when folks ask where an idea came from.

And I just happen to have one of those stories for my February book, Magnate’s Mistress…Accidentally Pregnant! Yay!

I had the bones of the plot and the characters (but no, I have no idea where those ideas came from), and I was making good progress on the book, but it just lacked something. I wasn’t sure what it was lacking, but pantser that I am, I had the belief it would come together eventually if I just kept writing.

Then I hit a snag. My hero, Chris, is a champion sailboat racer and his boat needed a name. It seems like a small thing, but the fact I didn’t know the boat’s name really bothered me.  Sailors are a superstitious lot, and I knew the boat’s name would be important to my hero.

So, off to the internet to search Boat For Sale listings to get ideas for the name of Chris’s boat…

After a lot of searching, I found a listing for a boat called Circe’s Magic. I liked the way “Circe” looked on the page when I typed it, and I like the way it sounded.  Circe would be a great name for Chris’s boat. But who or what was a Circe?

Back to Google…

Turns out, Circe is a character from Homer’s Odyssey.  (Don’t tell my Classics professor I didn’t know that.  He’s under the mistaken belief I actually read it.) Circe is the sorceress Odysseus meets on his journey; she’s also the one who turns Odysseus’s men into pigs.  She’s an important part of the story, because she provides Odysseus the information he needs to get home.  Circe and Odysseus were lovers, and, when Odysseus leaves, Circe is pregnant.

Hello, sparks!

It all seemed to dovetail quite nicely into what I already had for this book: A sailor, a woman on a faraway island who enchants him (and frustrates him), an affair, and an accidental pregnancy. Perfect! All of a sudden, I was finding all kinds ways to weave mythology through the story to tie everything together, and Circe – both the myth and the boat – became an important part of the story.   I went looking for one small piece of the puzzle and found more than I’d expected (and didn’t even know I needed).

I love those moments!  Yes, they make for good stories to tell here, but they also make for great books!

So have you ever gone looking for an answer, only to find the answer to a question you didn’t know you had?

Please welcome new Harlequin Presents author Caitlin Crews to IHP today! Her first Presents novel, Pure Princess, Bartered Bride hits the shelves in North America with the February releases next month and is on sale now in the UK! North American readers can also order it now from eHarlequin.com (print) or the Harlequin eBook Store. ~Amy

by Caitlin Crews, author of Pure Princess, Bartered Bride (Harlequin Presents, February 2010)

Romance novels are really my one, true love when it comes to books.  I found my first one when I was 12 years old in the local five and dime (my mother was more into spy thrillers) and I was an instant addict.  Big, sweeping historicals.  Sweet contemporaries.  Shorter categories.  My mother would drop me off at the local used book store, and pick me up again many hours later after I’d spent ages scouring the shelves and discovering so many new and new-to-me authors I’d stagger under the pile of books on my way to the car.  I read and read and read.  Many adults questioned my taste in books—teachers confiscated my books in school and demanded to know, in scandalized tones, what my mother would think.

I told them, truthfully, that she did not believe in censoring my reading material!

Fast forward a whole lot of years, and a whole lot of writing.  I was first published in women’s fiction/chick lit, but I spent all my time at RWA conventions swooning in delight every time I saw the great names of romance happen by.  I felt like I was watching my own, personal awards show—and I got to sit in the same room with women who had created stories that I lugged around with me from home to new home, unable to part with their words.

I spent all my free time reading more and more romances, single title as well as category, just as I always had.  But I found myself gravitating more and more toward Presents.  I just couldn’t seem to get enough of the stories– so big, so intense, and so delicious.  I just loved them!  And then, in the summer of 2008, I got a pair of wonderful characters in my head, and I dared myself to try and write in that fantastic Presents-style voice–which could not be more different from the other kinds of books I write.  It was a whole new world for me!

I finished the chapters, polished them as best I could, and sent them in.  And then I waited.  Months and months, until, just over a year ago now, I got an early-morning email from the Presents office.  They had read my chapters, had some thoughts/suggestions about the characters’ motivations, would be interested in seeing the whole book–and did I know when I might be able to submit the whole of it?

Well.  First, I danced around a little bit in my desk chair.  As you do.

I picked a date that seemed reasonable, and assured them I would submit then.  I don’t know why I was so confident–I’d never written a Presents before.  And I thought I could write one to a deadline??  Let me tell you, that was the roughest stretch of my life!  But it was also exhilarating.  I was so drawn into the story–so swept away by the world I was creating and the unbelievably alpha hero I was falling in love with as I worked my way through the story…  I had no idea if anyone else would ever read or love the story, but I knew I did.

When I sent the manuscript in, I was surprised to get an email back almost at once from my editor, who told me that she was working at home, as London had been hit with a blizzard.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful if she was snowbound, I thought, and bored, and just happened to click open the book I’d sent her and dive in…  Well, I have no idea if she did that, but I do know that about a week later, I got another email, this one saying that Harlequin wanted to buy my book!  I couldn’t believe it!  I think I danced around my house–at seven in the morning!  I definitely screamed!  I was over the moon.

I’ve just finished my third Presents now, and I’m still over the moon, and I don’t imagine the feeling is likely to go away any time soon.  My first Presents, Pure Princess, Bartered Bride, is already on sale at eHarlequin and should be showing up in bookstores soon.  It’s still very hard to believe!

It wasn’t my first call–it wasn’t even a call, in fact–but it was my first sale to my first love, and I couldn’t be happier.  Or more honored to be a part of the Harlequin tradition!

by Tiny Duncan, author of Da Silva’s Mistress (Harlequin Presents Extra, January 2010)

When Amy invited me to blog about Da Silva’s Mistress on i heart presents I was thrilled. The next question was: what should I talk about?

Obviously, I had to touch on the fact that this is my debut novel. As many of you know I sold as a result of the 2008 Instant Seduction competition. After several sets of revisions and a lot of hard work my dream came true when I received ‘the call’ in March 2009 from my lovely editor, Lucy Gilmour.

Since then there have been many exciting moments. Seeing my cover for the first time. Then—swoon—holding my very own book in my very own hands (and, yes, they were shaking). And, dare I admit it, going online and googling myself <g>? How cool is that?

Even cooler was finding, completely by accident during the above-mentioned googling sessions (yes, I did look more than once), a review of my book by Romantic Times. Thankfully—phew—they gave it a 4 ½ Star Rating. Deep down I was worried that Lucy had made a mistake and that nobody apart from friends and family would like my book.

And then, this month, I went into my local Kmart to see my book on the shelves. Yes, on the shelves, alongside great authors like Sandra Marton, Miranda Lee and Anne Mather who I’ve been reading and admiring for years. People must have thought my husband and I were completely mad because we both had stupid grins on our faces as we madly took photos.

So, what is the book about?

If you haven’t read it here is the back copy blurb.

Merciless Luca da Silva makes it his business to keep his friends close—and his enemies closer. And the next item on the tycoon’s agenda is revenge! Believing the da Silva family name is under threat, the powerful Italian goes straight to the source—beautiful Morgan Marshall.

Luca doesn’t trust innocent Morgan, but her delectable curves have his body working overtime. So what better way to keep an eye on her than to make her his mistress? And where better to seek vengeance than between this billionaire’s very own silk sheets…?”

Luca da Silva is an Alpha Hero to his fingertips. He is gorgeous and sexy and rich. He is also a man of honour who is protective of those he cares about. In Luca’s case it is this protective instinct that gets him into trouble. His guilt over a long ago car accident drives many of his decisions at the start of the book and makes him act in ways that he normally wouldn’t.

For me that is one of the most endearing and appealing qualities of the alpha hero. That beneath his sophisticated and arrogant exterior he is just a man. No matter how strong he is, or thinks he is, things that have happened in his past still have the power to shape his future, just as it does for the rest of us.

What about you? Outside of his looks, money and sex appeal what do you think are the most endearing qualities of an alpha hero?
