But when Lily proposes a compromise–she’ll take the bed and
he can sleep on the couch–Bruno pushes his attraction aside and assures himself
that this can remain strictly business. After all, they’re both adults capable of
keeping their hands to themselves. They’ll share the room, get a good night’s sleep,
and be off to their respective destinations in the morning.

About Your Writer: Questions for your character to answer about you.
Why do you think your
writer chose to write about you?
writer chose to write about you?
Honestly? I’m not really sure. I’m not a rock star or a political
powerhouse or a billionaire. Komarov Enterprises does well, but it’s not like I’m
going to go out and buy an NFL team or anything. I’m a pretty good ballroom dancer,
but something tells me that’s not why Audra thought I’d be a compelling hero. I’m
not exciting. I’m husband material. [Bruno shrugs and laughs] Maybe that’s exactly
why she chose me.

Was there anything your

writer discovered about you that was a surprise to one or both of you?
I didn’t realize just how much I needed someone to love. I mean,
I knew I didn’t want to be single forever, but until Audra put Lily in my path,
I had no idea that…well, let’s just say I was surprised by more than just my physical
attraction to Lily.

What do you wish your
writer would write next?
writer would write next?
Actually, it’s not a wish as much as a pretty solid plan. I happen
to be close enough with my writer to know that Greg Stanton and Julie Stanton are
getting their own books in the next few months. Greg is Lily’s older brother and
Julie is her younger sister.

I think Lily’s mother should get her happily ever after. Lily’s
father passed away many years ago and Mrs. Stanton hasn’t dated anyone since then.
I haven’t met Lily’s mom yet, but anyone who can raise an incredible person like
Lily deserves to find love again.
