do all girls fall in love with bad boys?

First off, I'm not writing a romance, although I have intentions of letting me feisty Pia have a romantic interest.

The title is referring to me...

Help I've fallen in love with my antagonist!!  He comes across as a very nice professional man, but I know his thoughts and there is nothing nice about them.  He's conniving, and cocky, but he's so darn determined, and I just love his way of thinking.  He's only doing his job though, so we can't judge him.  For the record this is the picture I have as inspiration for my character who I call Calloway:


Do any of you do this...get visuals for inspiration?  I started doing this when I was a child and it stuck...seems a bit silly maybe, but it works for me ,and I find I write better if I get a collection of pictures to help me visualize the story.  I always create the character first though and then find a picture to work around him.  This picture of Terrence Howard reminds me of Calloway except the space between the eyebrows would be a little wider apart and the hair is cropped so short it's nearly bald. 

Staying up a little later tonight because I have the itch in my fingers and I can't ignore it.

Basically, Calloway is calling me...

I must listen!
