So I just read a blog post about the author's book's main characters and thought I'd share my main characters, too.
Let's start with my first book, "Fire In The Mix":
Veronica Hunter
This is a picture of a Victoria's Secret model but this is how I pictured Veronica. Veronica is fiery, outspoken and independent, but she's also somewhat innocent, damaged and lost. Deep down all she wants is to feel worthy and be loved. She hides behind the wall of hurt she's created because of a man she'd deeply admired and respected crushed her dreams, but most importantly, her heart. She won't give in, even when the same man waltzes back into her life as if nothing happened. She's stubborn and resolute that he won't stomp on her heart again. But with time, Gabriel Savage opens her eyes that he's changed and she can finally let the ice walls melt and her hardened heart thaw so she could finally obtain what she's always wanted.
Gabriel Savage
This is my Gabriel or I wish he was! Another photo I "borrowed" from the internet. Gabriel is a bad boy rock star. Women adored him and threw themselves at him. He was used to getting what he wanted. He took and didn't care who got hurt. It was his life--music, women and partying and it worked for him--for a while. It had taken him to the top--his band and music were world renown, but there was always something missing and he didn't know what it was until he ran into Veronica Hunter again. He couldn't remember her or their past at first--there had been so many women over the years--but when it came back to him, he knew that he'd have to atone for his past sins so he could have a future; a future with her. If she'd only forgive him.
There are some other characters--Veronica's ex-husband, Toby and her ex-best friend, Darcy and current best friend, Maryann and Gabriel's best friends, Mitch and Jesse, but I'll let you read the book to find out about them.

Aubrey/Aubriana Windsor
The first photo on the left is a photo of Elizabeth Harnois from CSI and the photo on the right is a stock photo I'm using for my book cover. I picture Aubrey to look like Elizabeth, but have the hair style and color of the model on the right. Aubrey is naive, innocent and gullible but is also independent, headstrong and not afraid to speak her mind. She's not ready for a relationship yet because she's concentrating on obtaining a career in the publishing field. But that all changes when she develops an overwhelming attraction to the man who interviews her; the wealthy owner and soon to be boss, Alexander/Xander Ayes. Working for him, she's suddenly faced with dealing with a man who's complicated and cruel at times, and she won't let him get away with it. It's an ultimate struggle between professional and passion, respect and desire, changing his harsh ways and learning how to grow up, and suddenly having a life she'd never dreamed was possible.
Alexander/Xander Ayes
This is the beautiful Australian model, David Gandy aka Alexander/Xander Ayes. I wrote my character around this photo. This is Xander to the tee. He's beautiful yet complicated, a man ravaged by his past, changed into a sometimes heartless, but brilliant boss and a insecure and damaged man by his cruel, abusive father. He'd worked hard to become the successful businessman he was and he had no problem getting women, but he kept an arms-length from them, not wanting a marriage like his parents. But when Aubrey Windsor exploded into his life, everything he'd known for a certainty was now uncertain. She changed everything. Her beauty, her unfiltered mouth--she wouldn't allow him to bully her like he did without everyone else--and the way she made him want to change, to be a better man for her. Her love transformed him into everything he'd never thought he could be.
I won't share on Aubrey's best friend and sister, Natalie, Xander's best friend, Max or anyone else because again, you need to read the book.
