#ManCrushMonday – Luis from Exiled Hearts

I’m just finishing up my new book for Sourcebooks and I am loving it, even though it’s really different from what I normally do. There is a strong romance element, but there is also the story of three women separated by past hurts. Exiled from each other hence the tentative title, Exiled Hearts. I’ve also mentioned that I’ve worked a lot of my family’s history in escaping Cuba into this story. It’s been quite fascinating to do that since I’d tried many times in the past to write about that, but couldn’t because it was too emotional. Somehow weaving it into a fictional story has released the chains that kept that story locked in me. Anyway, the romantic interest in the story is Luis Torres, the CEO of the heroine’s family business. He’s almost like a member of the family and although their relationship starts off rockily, it quickly develops into much more. I picture Luis as very handsome and very stylish, much like the young man in this photo.
