The Duke: Is defined by his ducal mien. He might be nobility or a CEO, but he is concerned with propriety and correctness. He is orderly and scheduled and a stuffed shirt just waiting to be taken down a peg by a heroine who upsets his plans and schedules.
The Laird: Is defined by his role as a leader. He feels responsible for those in his charge, whether they are a family, a clan, or a ward. The laird generally learns to share his burdens in the course of a romance.
The Golden Boy: Is defined by his perfection. Everything has gone his way in life until a tragedy or event bursts his bubble. He will have to work now for his achievements rather than relying on his golden touch.

The Libertine: Is defined by his wants and desires. He is a hedonist who is ruled by his appetites. He believes he will never be "trapped" by loving a woman, and his sense of honor and responsibility are deeply hidden. He is a rake.
The Black Sheep: Is defined by being bad. He revels in his bad reputation, whether or not it is deserved, and seems determined to live up to it. He lives to defy convention. He is a rogue and possibly outside the law.
The Sorcerer: Is defined by his mystery. There is power in his mystery, and yet, his position is never secure. The sorcerer is a cynic, possibly a charlatan, and considers himself outside of society as a whole. He is also otherworldly.

Who's Your Alpha? Challenge
Duration: One Year From Start Date
Alpha in training = 3 books
AlphaLite = 6 books
AlphaBeta = 9 books
AlphaOne = 12 books
We all love our romance heroes. Some of us go for the Duke who has society in his pocket and gets all turned around by the heroine. Some of us go for the Bad Boy who turns all soft and mushy when his woman is around. But we always want them strong and capable of taking care of the heroine when she needs it.
According to some research on Alpha Heroes that I found here... http://www.likesbooks.com/63.html there are different ways to classify Alpha Heroes. I liked this classification the best:
The Duke: Is defined by his ducal mien. He might be nobility or a CEO, but he is concerned with propriety and correctness. He is orderly and scheduled and a stuffed shirt just waiting to be taken down a peg by a heroine who upsets his plans and schedules.
The Laird: Is defined by his role as a leader. He feels responsible for those in his charge, whether they are a family, a clan, or a ward. The laird generally learns to share his burdens in the course of a romance.
The Golden Boy: Is defined by his perfection. Everything has gone his way in life until a tragedy or event bursts his bubble. He will have to work now for his achievements rather than relying on his golden touch.
The Lone Wolf: Is defined by being alone. He is wounded, and wears his wound as a badge of honor. He prides himself on the fact that he needs no one, only to learn that, of course, he does.
The Warrior: Is defined by his sense of honor. He is a soldier, a spy, an officer of the law. His honor will be tested in the course of a romance, and his loyalties may change as a result.
The Brain: Is defined by his intelligence. He is perhaps an absent-minded professor or a computer nerd. He often pays little or no heed to social conventions or niceties because he is too busy solving or inventing.
The Libertine: Is defined by his wants and desires. He is a hedonist who is ruled by his appetites. He believes he will never be "trapped" by loving a woman, and his sense of honor and responsibility are deeply hidden. He is a rake.
The Black Sheep: Is defined by being bad. He revels in his bad reputation, whether or not it is deserved, and seems determined to live up to it. He lives to defy convention. He is a rogue and possibly outside the law.
The Sorcerer: Is defined by his mystery. There is power in his mystery, and yet, his position is never secure. The sorcerer is a cynic, possibly a charlatan, and considers himself outside of society as a whole. He is also otherworldly.
