Welcome to the first installment of my Heroes and Hunks page! I’m happy to introduce to you the 3 Carlino brothers, one at a time, from my soon to be released Napa Valley Vows series. Here's a preview of what the series is about - how I proposed it to my editors.Napa Valley Vows
The three Carlino brothers have come home to Napa Valley after their father’s death to run his massive Carlino Wines empire. According to the terms of his father’s will, all three must run the company and after six months, they must name the new CEO.
Million-Dollar Marriage Merger – Tony Carlino finds obligation and a deathbed vow can rekindle love with his best friend’s widow.
Seduction on the CEO’S Terms - Bookish Joe Carlino has no problem working with sexy, flamboyant Ali Pendrake, since he’s immune to that type of woman, until she does a “makeover in reverse” to catch his eye.
The Billionaire’s Baby Arrangement – Wheeler-dealer, Nick Carlino collides with a girl from his past and her young baby and their temporary living arrangement makes him want more from the two females in his life.
If you love a man with confidence and integrity who’s also sexy and dangerous then you’ll love Tony Carlino - the oldest of the three brothers in my tales.
He’s an ex-racecar champion accustomed to power behind the wheel on the racetrack but he’s also a man who’ll do what it takes to honor his best friend’s dying wish. The power play between Tony and Rena Fairfield Montgomery will keep you guessing, right up until they cross the finish line.
So, when I had to put a face to Tony’s name for Harlequin’s art department, only one face would do. Though this man doesn’t sport an Italian name, this Aussie was the only man I would consider (in my mind) for the role of strong, assertive and honorable Tony Carlino.
What do you think about my choice for Tony?
Would you love to sip a glass of Chardonnay with him?
I love your choice for Tony. Yes, I'd definitely sip a glass of Chardonnay with him. YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteWhen is this series due to come out?
I would absolutely share a bottle of wine (and probably anything else) with your Tony. Good pick!
ReplyDeleteThe series start this May! A monumental month for me, since my son is getting married. I'll be a busy mother-of-the-groom/author then!!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm so looking forward to both!
He's perfect! And I'd gladly share a Coke with him, since I'm not a wine drinker.
ReplyDeleteChar, Joe was hoping you'd use his face (and body) for "Tony"....well maybe next time!!
ReplyDeleteCarol - Tell Joe I'll keep him in mind next time!!
ReplyDeleteVickie - a Coke with Tony/Hugh would taste just as good!
Good choice for Tony. Who wouldn't want to share anything with him?
ReplyDeleteOMG--now that is my idea of a hero! Awesome choice!
ReplyDeleteHugh Jackman is not bad as your mental vision of Tony, I'd most likely use my favorite fellow:
ReplyDeleteDavid Boreanas! To each her own!! P.S. I've
enjoyed visiting your new website.

Hugh Jackman is a hunk, and I'd love to have a glass of wine with him. I loved the movie Australia, he's a real hero.
