I'm stuck! I couldn't find my pick for XX in any e-book store online so now I don't know what to do *looking around confused and a little sad*
Did you try World Cat, Susanne?
If anyone is looking for a "UU" - there is Trouble at the Wedding (Abandoned at the Altar, #3)Trouble at the Wedding, by Laura Lee Guhrke
. The hero's name is Christian Du Quesne, Duke of Scarborough. And the author's name qualifies, too.
Okay, I think these works:X - Harry BraXton
with the series name Braxton #1. X - Nyx Fortuna -
with the series name Nyx Fortuna #1. Right?
Also, there is X - Knox Devereaux
.That is all I have right now.
Thanks Lisa Kay for the suggestions! A little elf sent it over so now I'm ready to go again xD

Man-oh-man! I saw a book yesterday with a hero named Jaxxon. I was sure I'd remember the book. Ha! Totally out of my brain today. (I don't need it for this year, but was thinking of it for 2014.)

I know! That's why I want to remember it. LOL!
it's Jaxon with 1 x but it still fits the challenge
That's not the one, but, yes, it works! I'm tempted to go to the group, "What's the Name of that Book" - but they'd probably laugh at me, if all I had was Jaxxon as the character name.
it seems Jaxxon is the name of a green bunny in star wars
