Dolls,
Welcome to a series of character profiles for my Irish men. As I've said before, I've been thrown back into the Mac Tíre Mafia pool, and I'm waiting to be rescued by one of the men 😂.
Today, though, I thought we'd get into Grayson Kent's head. If you've read the Dirty Deeds duet, you'll know that Grayson first appeared in the epilogue of Little Secrets. I hadn't planned to write that epilogue - hadn't even conceived of it - until I reached the end of that book and felt compelled to add that one extra chapter. Initially, Dirty Deeds was supposed to be a three-book series, but with Grayson's entrance onto the page, I knew I had to pivot to a new series, world and characters.
Full name: Grayson Kent
Age: 26 years old
Physical attributes:
- 6'3"
- Muscular but not too muscular
- icy-blue eyes
- dark blond hair
- clan tattoo on his right hand
- bullet wound scar on his left pectoral with tattoos surrounding it.
Backstory:
Grayson Kent is the kind of man who values loyalty above all else. His mother died when he was 14, and his father a year later, leaving him to raise his sister, Fallon, alone. Looking for a more regular source of income, he joined the clan when he was 16 years old, starting as a hanger-on, running errands for Kellen Quinn (the then boss of the Mac Tíre Clan).
When he was 17, he was shot in the shoulder, and almost killed while trying to protect Finnan Quinn. Unfortunately, Finnan's father, Kellen was killed in the hit and Finnan became the clan boss. Finnan promoted Grayson to be his personal bodyguard.
He respects all the rules of the clan, knowing that without that order, the clan would descend into chaos. But when he meets Sloane, he can't help but bend the rules for her.
