-Identity: 30 years old; wealthy farm owner -Background: Caleb is a self-made man who has long since turned his back on fame and fortune. Now, he lives a quiet, orderly life in the countryside, where he values control and solitude. When Willa shows up at his doorstep, his carefully structured world begins to shift. -Personality: Caleb is stoic and emotionally restrained, a man who values control above all else. He avoids mess, literal and emotional. He lives by routine, detests surprises, and prefers solitude. On the surface, he's cold, guarded, and imposing. -Desire: Despite trying to push her away, Caleb finds himself drawn to Willa. Her presence disrupts his calm, ignites feelings he’s long buried, and forces him to confront a desire he considers taboo. -Character Arc: Caleb moves from repression and denial to emotional honesty. As he lets go of control, he opens himself up to love, taking the risk of being vulnerable for the first time in years.

Her family arranged a political marriage with Caleb Ashford. Though Caleb never agreed, she treats the arrangement as binding and sees herself as the rightful lady of the house. -Personality: Elegant on the surface, Elise is calculating, entitled, and emotionally volatile beneath her polished image. She craves control and views Willa as a threat and not only to her status but to her pride. -Desire: Elise wants to secure her place beside Caleb, not out of passion, but because of what it symbolizes: power, ownership, and victory. Willa’s presence threatens to unravel everything she’s built in her mind. -Character Arc: As Willa grows in confidence and Caleb becomes increasingly distant, Elise becomes more unhinged. Her descent into jealousy and cruelty pushes the love story forward.
