Link Fiesta - Conflict

I'm working hard on my WIP's internal conflict. It's absolutely vital to a romance novel and I'm having some difficulty developing it. Here are some helpful links I've found.

Maisey Yates on the elements of a perfect black moment and internal conflict.

Harlequin Presents is a category line that really focuses on the hero-heroine relationship. Here are some tips on how to develop internal conflict.

Gratuitous House Link: Nacho Figueras' house in Buenos Aires. The decor can best be described as glamorous gaucho. There's a Chesterfield sofa and a cowhide Courvoisier lounge chair. I've never read a romance where the couple makes out in a Courvoisier lounge chair. Someone should write one, but it will not be me.

Harlequin Special Release

Look at what I found on the supermarket book shelf:




Cool modern covers, sexy photographs, irresistible tropes, how could I resist? I bought all four.

Here's what I found on the inside:


The books are Presents reprints from 2003-2009. This seems to be a cover experiment. I love, love, love the sexy cover, and I hope the experiment pays off for Harlequin. I certainly did my part to help the cause. There goes my book budge for the month.


What do you think? Do you like the Special Edition covers?
