Aiden Beckett

Look inspired by: Can Yaman

Age: 36

Height: 6'2

Military experience: Former Army Ranger

Current job: Leader of a Special Ops team that hunts down and stops human traffickers. Also a deputy U.S. Marshal. (You'll understand when you read. lol)

Family: Oldest of four brothers. Uncle to Cole (Brother Will's son) and honorary uncle to Aubrey. (Daughter of teammate and honorary brother Rhett.)

Best traits: Strong leader, intelligent, patient, thoughtful, strong urge to protect his family and innocent people, tech genius, logical, honest, upfront, forgiving, takes care of others, and selfless, loves his family unconditionally. Man has dimples!

Worst traits: Stubborn, driven, gives too much of himself, believes that people are as loyal to him as he is to them, doesn't give up even when he should.

Author thoughts: Aiden is such a strong leader, and so it only made sense that he start off this series. He's the gentle giant but also strong and very dangerous. He leads this series like he leads his family, with a lot of responsibility, logic, and heart. He's the one that everyone listens to, counts on, and respects. He also loves hard and isn't afraid to show people how much he cares. *sigh*

JaxonBeckett

Look inspired by: Nick Bateman

Age: 35

Height: 6'1

Military Experience: Former Marine Recon

Current Job: Member of a Special Ops team that hunts down and stops human traffickers.

Family: Second oldest of four brothers.

Best traits: Flirty, fun, sarcastic, playful, capable, and confident. (Too much confidence most times!) Can infiltrate just about any space, and is the toughest of all the men when it comes to hand to hand combat. The "Fun Uncle" of the bunch.

Worst traits: Seems not to take things seriously, plays dumb when he's really intelligent, and just might be the man that your mom warned you about.

Author thoughts: I love the playful yet strong energy that Jaxon brings to the story. The rest of the men are pretty serious, responsible, their shoulders are heavy with what they do, and Jaxon is the one who brings comic relief to things. He's the kind of man that I'm always fascinated with in real life, or I guess I should say I'm fascinated by the woman who finally figures a way to tame him.

Mason Beckett

Look inspired by: Wouter Peelen

Age: 34

Height: 6’1

Military Experience: Former Navy SEAL. Not military, but he is the only of the brothers who has a college degree. (Psychology from Harvard)

Current Job: Special Ops team member who hunts and stops human traffickers.

Family: Third oldest of the Beckett brothers. Uncle to Cole (Will’s son) and honorary uncle to Aubrey. (Rhett’s daughter)

Best Traits: Highly intelligent, true gentleman, organized, analytical, logical, calm, hard to anger, reliable, sympathetic, easy to talk to, and dependable. I mean…the curls.

Worst traits: He is always overly analyzing every detail and situation, doing this quietly, which could come across as disinterested or critical. He can turn his emotions and feelings on and off, which lends to him departmentalizing his feelings and them building up to unbearable levels. Hard to get to know, mainly because he can transform into whatever the situation needs at the moment. A perfectionist on almost an obsessive compulsive level.

WillBeckett

Look inspired by: Casey Deidrick

Age: 33

Height: 6’2

Military Experience: Former Army Ranger. Logistical specialist (Mission Architect)

Current Job: Complicated.

Family: Youngest of the Beckett brothers. Widow. Father to Cole and honorary uncle to Aubrey. (Rhett’s daughter)

Best Traits: Analytical and intelligent. Kindhearted. Problem solver. Loving. Outgoing. Easygoing. Reliable. Amazing father/uncle.

Worst traits: Depressed, angry, withdrawn, angsty, easy to upset, and not dealing well with the death of his wife.

Author’s thoughts: Will ties the entire series together, and he has a long road to regaining who he is. (After the death of his wife.) Will makes my heart bleed, but I love the element he adds to the stories and to his brothers/family. Will is a lost soul who is fighting more than anyone could ever imagine, so he’s the character that I root for. He was my original idea, as is his love story, so he has a special place in my heart. His “story” is what I pulled out, lengthened, to last for the entire series. I need to make sure that his story is told correctly, and that we get to watch this beautiful man heal and love again.

Look inspired by: Stephen James. *I see different tattoos, though*

Age: 30

Height: 6’3

Military Experience: Army Green Beret, Sniper, Medic/Paramedic

Current Job: Special Ops team member who hunts and stops human traffickers.

Family: Only child. Father of Aubrey. (11 years old). He was “adopted” by the Becketts when his mother died.

Best Traits: Quiet, sarcastic, HIGHLY devoted to being a daddy to his daughter, analytical, very observant, calm, great listener, dependable, and gives great hugs.

Worst traits: His silence can be very intimidating, misses nothing, deadly dangerous temper if triggered, can appear aloof and uncaring.

Author’s thoughts: My sweet and very dangerous Rhett. He is such a fun character to write, especially with his skill set and his quiet sarcasm, but he is also my more difficult character to write. (Man barely speaks!) I’ve had to shift a lot with Rhett, learning how he can say a lot in very few words, and how to tell a complete story through his body language. He’s that “grounding” character, though. He is who he is, in every scene, with every character, and makes no apologies. I love that about him. He doesn’t feel the need to talk just to talk. Which means that when he speaks…everyone listens. Including me.  I also love that his daughter is the very center of his universe.
