Whether we like it or not, romance is driven by the theory that there is that ONE SPECIAL PERSON who gets you. Who knows to bring you vegetarian burgers with extra sauce, or who cuddles up to watch Buffy with you (again).

In a romance novel, we want our hero or heroine to find their ONE. The ONE who is obviously meant for them. If you’ve written it right, there will come a point in your romance novel, where each will realise that the other is THE ONE. This is powerful stuff. It links to our primal urges to pair up and mate. We have to believe that the couple we’re rooting for will make it because there is no-one else on this planet who will match up with them so perfectly.
