What your hero’s name
and where does he come from?
Alex Blazen from the pages of HALF is from the city of Orlando ,
Florida .
What’s your charming
hero’s profession?
Alex is the CEO of the family company Blazen Enterprises. The
company focuses mostly on research and development.
Now, there’s a lot
about our heroes that sets all women in a flutter. What’s your hero’s greatest
weapon when it comes to seduction?
His thoughtfulness and attention to the little things. Alex knows
it’s all in the details, remembering those small details that seem insignificant
to others, like how many sugars she takes in her coffee, makes a gal feel cherished.
Not to mention those killer eyes and the way a suit fits his lean muscled form.
If your hero
resembled one or more celebrities, who would they be?
That’s an easy one ;o) my muse for Alex was Adrian Paul.

Apart from being
incredible charming, how would you describe your hero’s personality?
Alex is intelligent, observant, he has a genuine heart and
interest in people.
Does your hero have a
favorite saying or motto?
He doesn’t really have a motto or saying but Alex is always
telling the others not to underestimate him. Just because he jockeys a desk all
day doesn’t mean he can’t hold his own and stake a few vampires.
Post a scene that
captures your hero using his charm to win over both our readers and heroine
Valeska stood within the darkness of the room and felt it
breathe. The dark was a living creature part of what she was. Her darkness, her
vampire, and she hated it. A bit of dust and the stain was all that was left of
her father. Once she had thought killing him would free her to live a normal
life, but that was just a pretty lie.
After all this time, she still had to exist in the twilight
between two worlds. Trapped. She was lost in the past when she heard footsteps
and smelled Alex’s cologne before he reached the room. Good. He’ll see the
darkness and run. It would be that easy to stop this before I want any more
than I can have.
Alex didn’t run. Instead, he walked over, embracing her and
kissing her blood covered mouth. All he cared about was showing her it didn’t
matter. That he loved her human or not. Plying her lips with his tongue, he
gently pushed into her mouth and met sharp fangs.
She tasted fresh blood and pushed him away roughly. “Alex
stop! I haven’t fed enough.”
He gazed at her and the concern she saw there was more than
she could bear. “I couldn’t. I couldn’t take an unwilling victim, not even a
four legged one.”
He looked beneath the splatters of blood to the pain her
eyes held. What horrors she must have endured to survive over six hundred
years of life.
She wanted to push him far away. “Don’t you see me? This is
Valeska Gorstef. Alex, I can’t change what I am. I can smell the sweet copper
scent of blood in your mouth. I can hear your heart pumping more through your
veins and I want it. I want to taste you in ways that have nothing to do with
passion.”
The video flashed in his mind. “I see the beautiful woman
who walked into my office three days ago. I see the dark desire in your eyes.
Blood isn’t all you want.”
She shook her head. “Alex, you don’t know what you’re
asking.” Valeska felt her control starting to slip.
“No I don’t.” Alex unbuttoned her shirt, peeled the blood
soaked fabric from her shoulders. He pulled off his own shirt and tossed it in
the pile. She was dizzy from bloodlust and need. Need to give in, need to love
him.
She stood stiff as he embraced her and kissing caressing
first one lip then the other. He was more careful exploring the warmth of her
mouth. He licked her fangs tasting the sweet copper in her mouth.
Weakening with the scent of his body so close, she kissed
him back him feeling his warm clean skin. They fell to the floor she rolled
over him. “We can’t do this. I have to feed.”
He grabbed her face as he kissed her again. “Then feed.”
