Here’s
my heartbreaker Falcon. He’s going by the name of Tony for this special assignment…
After the game, they bought groceries at the old
Roman marketplace. They waved their Napoli flags at a rowdy group of fans
joining the throng of people celebrating on the avenue.
Angelina stopped to make way for the fans cheering
the home team victory. She could not see Tony now that she’d left his side, and
the dancing group closed in.
A sun-bronzed hand grabbed hers, pulling her along,
further away from the laughing group. She had to jog to keep up with Tony while
he forcefully parted the bodies surrounding them.
“I should have worn my sneakers!” She laughed.
They reached the end of the avenue where the crowd
thinned. Angelina saw who held onto her wrist.
The silent man’s brown eyes warned her, before
holding her close. He was not much taller than she was, but he was stocky.
There was strength in the arm he put around her waist. There was no getting
away from him as he dragged her across the busy street.
“Let go of me!”
The man’s grip loosened around her waist and he
stumbled, jerking his head in her direction. Recovering quickly, he reined her
back in, but not before she saw the wariness in his eyes. She almost tripped
over her own feet as the crowd pushed them along.
“Tony!” Her screams blended in with the jovial
shouts around her.
She tried to twist out of the man’s arms, but he
held onto her so tight his arm was pressing into her ribcage. He didn’t look at
her again, but nodded and smiled to the mob of fans that moved toward the town
square.
“Somebody! Please, help me!”
A woman passed by, laughing and waving a flag in
Angelina’s face.
They had reached the other side of the street. She
was being abducted in the midst of a drunken celebration. Tears streamed down
her face and she screamed again as everyone skipped past her and the silent
man, laughing and singing.
She felt rather than saw Tony jump on the man’s
back, dragging him down to the ground, and breaking his hold on her.
Angelina slumped down while Tony and her abductor
wrestled in the middle of the street. While Tony pummeled the silent man in the
face, she backed away on her elbows, never once looking away from his calm,
calculating eyes.
He’s not going to stop.
Tony raised his fist, ready for the descent and the
silent man rolled from underneath him with a groan.
Her abductor fell into the crowd, pushing the bodies
in front of him out of the way.
“Stay here,” Tony ordered, and ran after the man.
She got to her feet but could not see either of
them, only the blood streaks on the ground from her abductor’s beating.
The crowd closed in around her. There was a squeal
of tires as a car pulled away from the curb.
Tony walked back through the crowd. The sweat on his
brow was the only indication that he’d had some exercise. “He wasn’t alone.
There was a car waiting for him. No license plate.”
She didn’t know what she had expected to hear,
certainly not his matter-of-fact tone. When she looked into his eyes, his
unspoken words hung between them. He was going to take you…
Angelina had the distinct impression that if the
silent man had taken her, it would have been his last action on earth. She
stared at her companion of several weeks, a fellow musician with beautiful long
fingers that mastered the piano.
Killing hands. She hugged herself.
Tony murmured something and with a shake of his
head, he opened her arms and lifted her against his chest.
A warrior’s chest. Better than a breastplate. His
next words were so anticlimactic it took a moment for them to register in her
mind.
“Are you all right?”
“Yes.” Angelina shook in his arms. He was her Roman
soldier, and she was his battle prize. “Thank you for rescuing me. Again.”
She put her arms around his neck and did what she
wanted to do. She kissed him.
He slanted his mouth over hers, and the crowd
cheered.
Angelina didn’t know if they were cheering the kiss
or her champion, and she didn’t care. She was more interested in what he was
doing with his tongue and the way her body fit the hard body holding her up.
Neither she nor Tony said anything while she made a
delicious slide down that body and her feet touched the ground.
The last of the crowd moved away towards the
celebration in the square as if they witnessed a beating and a criminal’s
escape every day in this town.
It was some moments before Tony let her go. By the
time he did, she almost protested. He was scanning the street as if he could
track the silent man’s getaway car.
Angelina took the time to compose herself. How she
could feel so violated by her abductor and so completely aroused by her
defender at the same time?
Tony picked up the bag of groceries he’d dropped to
beat the silent man. “Let me get you home.”

We all want to love a Heartbreaker. Maybe its because of his chiseled good looks, his bad boy attitude, or the mysterious nature of him. Some Heartbreakers are just that, they know what they got and how to use it to get what they want. Then there are those Heartbreakers that don’t even realize that they are doing it. The best part about a Heartbreaker is that there is always a woman that turns their world upside down until they realize it is love. I have read many Romance Novels over the years and have run into many memorable Heartbreakers and my favorites are usually the ones that don’t even know they are Heartbreakers! Some of my personal favorite Heartbreakers are :
Kade Jamenson (Werewolf) from An Alpha’s Path. Kade is a sexy werewolf that will make you burn but a mishap with a potential mate makes him not think he will find love.
Ian MacPhie (Vampire) from All I Want For Christmas is a Vampire. Ian is a heartbreaking Highland Vampire that was frozen in his immortality when he was only 15. With the help of his friend he is given a drug that helps him age to 28 so he could look like a man instead of a child after hundreds of years. He has no idea that he looks of a warrior and the lover.
Lothaire Daciano (Vampire) from Lothaire. Lothaire is definitely a heartbreaker and his cocky attitude proves it! Thinks he’s a gift to women! Its just the sucker punch from a woman he doesn’t realize is his equal that brings him down a notch.
Marius Parker from His Contrary Bride. Marius is every part the gentlemen but doesn’t realize he could also easily be the rogue!
Benjamin Gateway from To Win His Wayward Wife. Benjamin doesn’t realize that he is a heartbreaker because the one woman he loved, he lost….or did he?
Fury North (Human with Canine DNA) from Fury and Valiant North (Human with Feline DNA) from Valiant. Fury and Valiant are strong New Species and gorgeous to boot, but because they are damaged they doesn’t think they can hold onto to the women they love.
Sigimor Cameron from Highland Conqueror. Sigimor is every bit the Highland Laird and warrior but can he hold onto to the beautiful English lady?
Joshua Striker (Werewolf) from Alexandra’s Legacy. Joshua is a scared and battle hard enforcer for his pack and he thinks that he doesn’t have what it takes to make the women melt.

My Fav Heartbreaker is Quinn from Broken Promises. He’s dark and sexy but can’t entirely control his actions. 🙂 He goes from being a good guy to a bad and I hope at the end of the series he becomes a mix of both personally. But he’s my favorite heartbreaker.

If you mean romance novels then it is experiencing something vicariously that I no longer have in life.
I may not have much experience in the whole love department, but I have had my heart broken. Being considered a Heartbreaker can come from various actions that you do. I am a newbie when it comes to reading romance books but what I have learned is that it is not bad to have a chiseled body or an amazing personality. If you look at it over all, if you never put your heart out there, you may never have a chance at true love and happiness. I may get broken once in a while but only you are strong enough to pick yourself up and try all over again. One of my favorite Heartbreakers is Taylor Qualls the Earl of Sandlin from the book His Impetuous Debutante. Lady Phoebe kinda reminds me of myself, accident prone and finding trouble in every corner. Taylor doesn’t think he is good enough for Phoebe, so he’s a heartbreaker and doesn’t know it.
