Only a Hero Will Do

#FiveOnFriday with Alanna Lucas

July 21, 2017 by Mary

Please welcome Alanna Lucas! She’s sharing five random thoughts with us today about her book, Only a Hero Will Do.

What is your hero most embarrassed about?

He doesn’t know how to dance. But never fear, his best friend comes to his rescue 😉

What is the inspiration for Only a Hero Will Do?

Captain America was the inspiration for this story (Captain Grant Alexander is his Regency-era doppelgänger). I spent a lot of time researching the history of the comic book series (and yes, the movies!). It is quite fascinating.

Heroine’s favorite line in Only a Hero Will Do:

She might look the part of a viscount’s daughter, but inside beat the heart of a spy.

Music is very important to me while I’m developing any story. The top five songs on my playlist while writing Only a Hero Will Do are (in no particular order):

Stories of Old by Depeche Mode

Taking a Stand by Henry Jackman

Holding out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler

Castle by Halsey

The Phoenix by Fall Out Boy

One of my biggest quirks — that I don’t mind sharing 😉

I like to vacuum. In fact, I find it relaxing.

Only a Hero will Do: Alanna Lucas

Defender of the realm…and his wary heart…

Captain Grant Alexander is an enigma in London society. Dashing and handsome, he coldly eschews marriage. But the ton knows nothing of his role in the Legion: to bring Typhon, the traitor who seeks to destroy the British monarchy, to justice.

When Grant is thrown together with fellow Legion member Elizabeth Atwell, he’s instantly beguiled yet exasperated by this beautiful viscount’s daughter. She has little interest in combing the marriage mart for a well-bred, well-heeled husband, but is adept at code-breaking and handling a bow and arrow. She also refuses to do as she is told, insisting she accompany Grant on his mission.

As Typhon continues to evade capture and dark forces are at work, Grant realizes he must act, not only to protect the realm but Elizabeth too…not to mention his heart, which is in danger of thawing every time she comes close…

He was the one that got away. Ran away really. But He was the one that got away. Ran away really. But he came back. Almost twenty years later. With a teenager. Wanting another chance.

Ten people were taken from my city over the weeken Ten people were taken from my city over the weekend. Ten people who did nothing wrong. The person who took their lives was filled was hate and took it out on innocent people. #BuffaloNY is the City of Good Neighbors. I didn't know those ten people, but I feel their loss like the rest of my city does. We are all neighbors, and we all hurting. 

My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of Aaron Salter, Ruth Whitfield, Pearl Young, Celestine Chaney, Roberta Drury, Heyward Patterson, Margus Morrison, Andre Mackneil, Geraldine Talley, and Katherine Massey; and with the survivors: Zaire Goodman, Jennifer Warrington, and Christopher Braden.
Dating your ex in a small town means everyone know Dating your ex in a small town means everyone knowing your business. Like the fact that he broke your heart. They should all be on my side, right? Too bad he’s bringing an old town hangout back to life. And getting everyone involved. And making all of us fall in love with him.
