Having just written Second Chance Ranch which has two alpha males butting heads, I thought I would pick my three favorite alpha males I have written…
This was hard. I love writing alpha males with soft underbellies, alpha men who would die for their brothers-in-arms, or their families, who love children, and kittens, but will equally be happy to go the whole distance to keep everyone safe. So, after much thinking…
Jack, The Heart of Texas
Jack is solid, and is the one person who can stop Riley and say *enough*. He is Riley’s rock, the center of the family, the one that supports everyone.
He is strong, sexy, loves to switch, loves the barn (and knows how to tie Riley up just the right way). Even though I am actually team!Riley, Jack is my ultimate alpha male to write with his quiet ways and his utter determination in life.
Finn, Alpha Delta
This story was written specifically about an alpha, who happens to be part of the Norwegian Delta team. Finn is the ultimate action hero and not only does he rescue Niall, he allows Niall to rescue him right back. Swoon… I love that he is so brave and utterly determined to fight through everything to save the man he loves.
Sanctuary, Heroes & Bodyguards series
God, it was so hard to find a single guy in among all these alpha males. The one I guess that springs to mind the most is Viktor Zavodny. He first appears in Sanctuary as a bit of an asshole, who is not only an expert in ordnance for his SEAL team, but is also prone to loving and leaving his one night stands. He is the very definition of action hero, all guns and action, and that doesn’t stop, even when he gets back together with his one *true love*. He’s a complete bastard to start, but by the end he’s a pussycat. Swoons again.
The Heart of Texas (Texas #1)
Kindle US | Kindle UK | Kindle CAN | Kindle AUS | Kindle FR | Kindle DE
Riley Hayes, the playboy of the Hayes family, is a young man who seems to have it all: money, a career he loves, and his pick of beautiful women. His father, CEO of HayesOil, passes control of the corporation to his two sons; but a stipulation is attached to Riley’s portion. Concerned about Riley’s lack of maturity, his father requires that Riley ‘marry and stay married for one year to someone he loves’.
Angered by the requirement, Riley seeks a means of fulfilling his father’s stipulation. Blackmailing Jack Campbell into marrying him “for love” suits Riley’s purpose. There is no mention in his father’s documents that the marriage had to be with a woman and Jack Campbell is the son of Riley Senior’s arch rival. Win win.
Riley marries Jack and abruptly his entire world is turned inside out. Riley hadn’t counted on the fact that Jack Campbell, quiet and unassuming rancher, is a force of nature in his own right.
This is a story of murder, deceit, the struggle for power, lust and love, the sprawling life of a rancher and the whirlwind existence of a playboy. But under and through it all, as Riley learns over the months, this is a tale about family and everything that that word means.

But a phone call from his sister has him using his thirty day down time to go home instead of enjoying his usual nights of random sex and sleep.What he finds is a mystery on the Green Mountains and the only man attempting to make sense of seemingly unrelated deaths. His childhood friend and first love… Lieutenant Aiden Coleman, Sheriff.
There were reasons Viktor left his home. Not least Aiden Coleman with his small town innocence and his dreams of forever. Now Adam and Viktor need to work together to save lives and prove there is a hero in all of us.
When it’s done, if they make it out alive, can Aiden persuade Viktor that he has a reason to stay? Maybe forever?

OMG! When I first read the blog title I thought if Rj doesn’t say Jack I’ll be SO disappointed. Then I click the link and Jack’s number one. WooHoo! Totally agree Rj. My favorite of all your characters. ?

LOL! I’m totally #teamjack too! <3
Sue Becker says
Of the 3 options listed I HAVE to go with Jack. To be honest though, I was kind of hoping to see Riley as one of the Alphas.
Yvonne says
I have to say Jack also, probably because we have seen him over many books/situations. Jack’s love for Riley and the kids is the best part, though a loving, killer combination
