I’m having a contest. I am in the middle of writing a novella about a hot, sexy billionaire who believes people only want him for his money and a single mother who works from home doing graphic design. Visiting his cousins he sees a striking logo that she created and asks who did it. He is referred to her and when they meet sparks fly at once, both good and bad. I need names for both the hero and heroine. Post your suggestions in the comments section. Each winner will receive a $10 Amazon Gift Certificate. Sharpen your brains and your imaginations and let’s see what you’ve got.
