Fantasy Ranch: Meet Harlan “Harley” Majors
This is an expanded version of the character profile included in the last Variety News.
Book: The Biker's Wench
Height: 6' 2"
Hair Color: Light brown, shoulder length
Style: Casual, jeans & t-shirt, or leathers when working/riding
Harley Majors is all about giving people a break from their mundane lives. He knows what it's like to work a soulless office job and is determined never to do that again. He started Fantasy Ranch as a place for adults to get away from it all and live another life, even if only for a few hours. His favorite place to work and hang out is "Double D", the biker-themed bar and original theme destination for the ranch.
Harley loves women. And he has a hard time fending off the myriads of ladies who are attracted to his rough and tumble appearance. Unfortunately, it’s no secret that he co-owns the ranch, and lately he’s had nothing but bad luck with women who set out to seduce him for his money - some of them married. Needless to say, he’s adopted a “hands off” policy toward anyone of the female persuasion, but is constantly amazed at the lengths they will to through to trap him in situations where it’s his word against theirs in court. Most of the time he wins, but it’s still a huge hassle, and he can’t trust anyone anymore.
His lawyers have advised him that the best way to stop the nearly endless stream of frivolous law suits is to settle down with a wife, preferably one he can at least act like he's totally in love with in public. If people get word he’s unavailable, the gold-diggers will find easier prey. He's willing to pay someone to play the part if it means an end to the constant court battles, but it can't be just anyone. It has to be someone who can play the part of a doting wife, yet keep the relationship in the proper perspective. Someone like a well-paid employee, with everything provided so she won’t need his money.
Then one night a not-so-charming wench literally runs into him...

Harley reminds me of a former lover I had many years ago. We parted on semi-okay terms and when I read about Harley I remember many pleasant "rolls in the hay." It makes me "hot" too. Harley is a really HOT character.
