ALEX WOLFE
Character Profile
His Past…
The fourth Wolfe son, and twin brother to Annabelle, Alex found altercations with William Wolfe a regular occurrence as he was growing up. It seemed that it didn’t make a difference whether he was good or bad – his father treated him the same whatever. So it wasn’t long before he stopped obeying the rules altogether!
Alex’s passion was – and always had been – cars. This was the one thing he shared with his father, who had a garage full of everything from vintage classics to top-of-the- range super-cars. But William’s prized collection was just for show – not that it stopped Alex! As he grew older, and more rebellious, he would take his father’s cars for joyrides and occasionally get into trouble, but he had the charm and skill to wheedle his way out of any serious situations.
After that fateful night which left his twin sister Annabelle a shadow of her former beautiful self, everything changed. He could no longer see his reflection in her face. All he could see was her pain. Their strong bond was fractured. He tried to make a joke and tease her the way he used to, but her old fight was gone. She wasn’t the same outgoing, fun-loving, beautiful girl anymore – and he blamed himself. Unable to look his sister in the eye, Alex feared he was hurting Annabelle every time he didn’t face her. So the moment he turned eighteen Alex decided it was time to pack his bags, pursue his dreams of championship racing stardom, and leave behind the oppressive guilt and pain of Wolfe Manor…

AUTHOR AND CHARACTER QUESTIONS WITH ROBYN GRADY
Behind the scenes at Wolfe Manor…
Share a secret about your hero or heroine?
Alex Wolfe has won racing titles and trophies all over the world! But his most prized possession is a home-made medal his mentor awarded him when he was only a volatile, directionless teenager starting out.
Who the biggest, baddest Wolfe?
We certainly have an assortment to choose from! I wouldn’t classify Alex as the biggest and baddest…perhaps the most driven (and sexy!). I have a soft spot for Lucas. His way of coping with the past is both charming and self-destructive. He’s a lucky man to have found a woman like Gracie-Belle.
Which Wolfe brother did you most fancy?
Aside from Alex… I’d have to say Jacob. As the eldest, Jacob had so much weighing on his shoulders, before and particularly after his beast of a father died. I love the way he made a commitment to bring the Wolfe pack back together. So much soul-searching, and adventure of every kind, happens along the way!
Which is your hero’s favourite room in Wolfe Manor?
Trick question! Although Alex retains snippets of fond memories growing up with his brothers and twin sister, Annabelle, in Wolfe Manor, by his teens, he was desperate to escape the house that had caused him and his family so much grief. Rather than his favourite room, perhaps the area that haunts Alex most is the staircase. One night at the bottom on those stairs, so many Wolfe lives, including his own, were torn apart and changed forever.
How did your hero pop the big question to the heroine?
Although Australian Libby Henderson was once the female world surfing champion, due to a shocking accident that ripped her away from that profession forever, she avoids the sand and the sea. It’s through knowing Alex that Libby begins to overcome her fear and welcome again what had once been so much a part of her life. It’s when she’s walking along the beach, wondering what the future holds, that Alex surprises her with both revelations that leave her weak and never more wanting, as well as a proposal no woman could refuse.
Your writing secrets…
What do you enjoy most about writing as part of a continuity series; how does it differ to writing a single title?
The Notorious Wolfes series is my very first continuity! I was thrilled to be asked to join with authors I adore as a reader, and was blown away by everyone’s generosity of time and information as we worked together to make sure this set of stories developed into the amazing romances they have. I was sorry to say goodbye to my gorgeous brave hero and the woman who made the difference in his life. But I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to become friends with such a great bunch of writers. It was wonderful to have company while I was creating and tapping away!
What do you think makes a great hero/heroine?
Strength coupled with a vulnerability that only one special person can truly identify with and have the ability to heal. Alex Wolfe is that quintessential blend of raw courage and tenderness. He so deserved a happy ending.
When you are writing, what is a typical day?
I write every day in some form or another! But a typical weekday means getting the kids off to school, answering emails, blogs, etc. Then reading over what was written the day before. Somewhere in between collecting the children, I workout with a personal trainer. (The body doesn’t get much exercise sitting behind a laptop!). After homework, dinner and catching up for an hour or so with my wonderful husband, I’m back into it – sometimes until 2 or 3 in the morning and, on occasion, all the way through! What can I say? I’m addicted
