Getting your hero to fall for someone is just a matter of figuring out what he wants in a lover, and then creating a character that will actually help the plot along who conforms to that. But watch out... don't create cardboard characters just so your hero can have a damsel in distress. And please, oh please do not let the love interest ever fall prey to the 'Standard Female Grab Area'. If you do that, I will find you and force you to rewrite the scene. No one is going to cry foul if the bad guy punches the girl into unconsciousness. He's a bad guy. He does things like that.
Getting off subject here. Love interests are a good thing to throw in the story, but don't do it unless the love interest provides a legitimate addition to the story. No cardboard lovers, sorry.
