There are three primary methods in romance novels to get the Hero and heroine together to their HEA. Which one is your favorite, and why does it appeal to you?
1. The H/h are strangers at the beginning, feel immediate sparks upon meeting and can't get the other person out of their mind.
2. The H/h are antagonists at the beginning (whether cop/thief, football player and bookworm, etc.) who overcome their initial dislike over the course of the book to fall madly in love.
3. The H/h start out as former lovers who separated due to job, school, or arguments. The plot offers the opportunity to rediscover each other since they've both changed enough to now make a great match.
Or, pick #4 and tell me about it! (Yes, I'm still happily writing, Susan. Got out 5K today and am cooling off. Up to nearly 40K now! Woo!)
