Sebastian Hawthorne:

Sebastian Hawthorne is the human equivalent of black coffee—strong, bitter, and absolutely necessary. A ridiculously successful businessman, he has conquered boardrooms and stock markets but remains forever banned from Cupid’s list (seriously, Cupid tried, but the arrows just bounced off his stone-cold heart).

His default mood? Mildly irritated.

His idea of a good time? Not having a good time.

Despite his general distaste for socializing, he looks annoyingly good in a suit, which is the only reason people tolerate his grumpiness. Well, that and the fact that deep, deep—deeeep—down, he might have a heart. But it’s buried under layers of spreadsheets, skepticism, and a firm belief that love is a capitalist scam.

Theo Lancaster:

Theo Lancaster is pure sunshine wrapped in a perfectly styled blazer. The type of guy who remembers your coffee order after one meeting, calls people "mate" like he’s in a rom-com, and somehow makes flirting look effortless—even when he’s not trying. A hopeless romantic to his core, Theo falls in love approximately every five business days and treats heartbreak like a minor inconvenience rather than an existential crisis.

He believes in love at first sight, second chances, and making even the grumpiest man on earth smile (Sebastian is his current project). If Theo were a dog, he’d be the type to bring you a stick and wait for you to be impressed. If he were a season, he’d be spring—charming, warm, and just a little unpredictable.
