You really can't write a story that involves the reader emotionally
without
putting the hero/heroine into trouble.
Absolutely true, but h/c is all about putting the hero into trouble so *someone else* can pull him through the fires of hell etc.
Whereas if I put Jenna or Cally through the wringer, it would be to show how tough they are, ruggedly battling on against all odds etc.
