No. 1522: A hero of our time

'Mills & Boon heroes do not leave rings round the bath', said a spokesperson re- cently; in fact they have changed beyond recognition from the old romantic stereotype to reflect modern conditions and mores. An extract, please, from a romantic novel (maximum 150 words) featuring a new breed of man. Entries to 'Competition No. 1522' by 6 May.

Last week's Competition was wrongly numbered '1520' instead of '1521'. My apologies. Entries will be sorted out.
