    Eclipse of the Heart 

    About the Book

    Title Eclipse of the Heart
    Genre Contemporary Romance
    Author Name Carly Carson
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Amanda Thompson is offered her dream job as a junior executive
    at a Manhattan venture
    firm. The terms are a little vague, but she has a seriously ill sister to provide
    for, and her new boss is a seriously attractive man. Failure is not an option, so
    she’ll keep her eye on the prize, and her heart and body out of the mix…despite
    the boss’s overly personal interest in her.
    Logan Winter is a hard-driving business tycoon who likes his
    sex life hot and his emotional life cold. His new high-end call girl is a little
    different from the ordinary bimbos who fill the role. That’s okay, since he’s ready
    for different. Even discovering the mistake that’s been made is okay, because he
    knows how to get what he wants…and he wants Amanda.

    About the Character

    Name: Logan
    Winter
    Age: 32
    Gender: Male
    Birthplace: Boston,
    MA
    Profession: Entrepreneur
    Describe his/her body build, skin tone, height and weight. Include
    any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars: His gray eyes are cool
    enough to match his name. His dark hair is cut short, and his firm mouth speaks
    of a man used to making decisions and ruling his world.
    Who is the significant
    other in your character’s life?
    He has no significant other.
    How does your hero dress?
    Logan dresses in a businesslike,
    New England manner (think prep). He doesn’t care
    about clothes, but he grew up in New England, so
    these clothes are convenient for him and useful in his business dealings. Amanda
    loves to see him with his oxford-cloth shirt rolled up to expose his tan forearms.
    (Of course, she also loves to see him in fewer clothes, if possible.)
    What are the qualities
    of his voice? (pitch, quality, volume)
    Deep, dark and seductive.
    If you could only hear
    this character’s voice (but not see him) what characteristic would identify him?
    Amanda could identify him by voice because his voice alone gives
    her goose-bumps.
    What is your character’s
    viewpoint on wealth? Not necessary, nice to have, important, obtain at all costs?
    Wealth is something Logan
    has, but life has taught him that money is much less important than other things.
    How do others perceive
    your character based upon looks? How true is this assumption? Does your character
    care about those assumptions?
    Other people see Logan
    as a rich playboy who works hard and plays hard. He only cares about the opinions
    of his close friends, and they know he’s not superficial or spoiled by the fact
    that he apparently can have whatever he wants. They know, as he does, that he can
    never have what he wants most.
    Can your hero keep a secret?
    If not, why not? If yes, why?
    Yes, Logan
    has been carrying around a tragic secret for a long time. It’s easy to keep the
    secret because he has no desire to talk about the tragedy. At the same time, it’s
    a huge weight on him because it affects every part of his life, yet he can’t talk
    about it.
    What is your hero’s biggest
    personal flaw?
    He can separate his emotions from his relationships with other
    people. This flaw prevents him from healing emotionally.

    About Your Writer: Questions for your character to answer about you.

    Why do you think your
    writer chose to write about you?
    She knew that I needed to be jolted out of my cold, emotionless
    life. I wasn’t always happy with her plot machinations, but she knew exactly which
    plot element I would not be able to turn my back on.
    What do you wish your
    writer had not told others about you?
    I would have kept the secret about my family forevermore. It
    was painful to re-open that wound.
    Was there anything your
    writer discovered about you that was a surprise to one or both of you?
    I was surprised to discover I was capable of love. I’d convinced
    myself that I wasn’t. I’m grateful to the writer for showing me that important fact
    that led me to my present happiness.
    When your writer is writing
    about you, what do you think makes your writer the most happy? What makes your writer
    the most sad?
    The writer is sad that she can never fix the tragedy that made
    me who I am. She’s happy to engineer a happy ending. She wouldn’t rest until I got
    mine.
    What other character from
    your book do you think your writer should write a book about? Care to tell us why?
    Rosie deserves her own story. She’s not the kind of buttoned-up
    employee I normally hire, but she turned out to be a true friend to both me and
    Amanda. I’d love to see that imp get her own happily ever after.
    Is there anything you’d
    like to say to your writer?
    Thanks!

    Author Bio

    In Carly’s Real World: She is a wife to Traveling Man, who actually
    knows flight attendants because they are on his “commute”. (That is his
    story, and we’re buying it.) The upside is, Carly gets some sweet travel deals.
    Once the whole family stayed for free in the Presidential Suite plus the Queen suite
    at an all-inclusive 5-star resort in Cozumel. Another
    time, they got upgraded from two garden-view rooms to two ocean-front suites on
    Waikiki Beach
    in Honolulu. Traveling
    Man is very handy to have around.
    Carly is also the Jill-of-all-trades to three offspring, who
    often take her for granted, but are nonetheless wonderful. Just ask them. :)
    In Carly’s Fantasy World: The men are tough, but the women are
    tougher, though usually in a different way. Women enjoy sex and men understand it.
    (This is fantasy world, remember.) Happy endings are mandatory, though there may
    be a lot of trouble and heartache to get there.
