Here's My Hero Pick for the Week!

I'm gonna let the pictures do the talking.  I JUST love getting lost watching LOST.  Do you agree?

He's the bad/good guy! I can't figure out who Sawyer really is!

The American Soldier ... Always there

If you know me, you know I have the utmost respect for our military. I often volunteer and donate to many causes like Operation Gratitude and various veteran organizations.

The horrendous tragedy in Haiti has gotten the world's attention. The sad and almost hopeless situation has been aided by many heroes, but today I want to share some photos of our American Soldiers- 12,000 strong - in action, helping the Haitians.

It's said that it took only a few days to make the Port Au-Prince airfield ready to receive 100 planeloads of supplies in, every day. Thanks to our outstanding military.

They are there to keep the peace for the Haitians. But they do so much more.

Some of these photos are of the 22nd and 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU)

They are my heroes ... today and always.

A HERO WORTH KNOWING

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?
