The People of Misery Loves

Character Bios

Spoiler-light introductions to some of the people who shape Saoirse Kelly’s world.

At the center of it all

Saoirse Kelly

Twenty-one, determined, and ready for a future more promising than the one she left behind, Saoirse joins the Air Force for a paycheck and a marketable skill. What she finds instead is freedom, friendship, and a life much bigger than she imagined.

The complication she didn’t plan for

Tom Baker

Confident, charismatic, and born into a world of money, family expectations, and legacy, Tom seems to have everything mapped out. Then Saoirse enters the picture.

Partner in crime. Keeper of secrets.

David Fox

Tom’s lifelong best friend is quick with a grin, hard to rattle, and far more observant than he lets on. David has a way of being there when it matters most.

Family matriarch

Lila Baker

Formidable, perceptive, and fiercely protective of the people she loves, Lila has lived long enough to know that family is never as simple as it appears.

Legacy has a long shadow

Thomas “Senior” Baker

A rancher and oilman with a taste for cigars, bourbon, and doing things his own way, Senior’s influence reaches well beyond the life he built.

A woman with her own history

Alisha Baker

Elegant, complicated, and impossible to dismiss, Alisha carries a history with the Baker family that reaches far beyond first impressions. What she wants, what she knows, and what she chooses to reveal will matter more than Saoirse realizes.

More to come
