From alpha through beta, gamma, and all the way to omega, the current trend in creating romance heroes may be all Greek to you. But whether you crave a guy who’s brooding and dominant, affable but capable, or downright dangerous, there’s a trope for that. To fashion a hero who can carry an entire novel, though, you need to venture beyond the trope.
