Ethan Brooks

Age: 29
Height: 6’3”
Hometown: Small-town Tennessee
Occupation: Owner of a successful construction company

Appearance:
Ethan has dark brown, slightly messy hair, piercing blue eyes, an athletic build, strong features, and light stubble. He usually wears jeans, boots, and simple button-downs or T-shirts. He has a quiet confidence that makes him hard to ignore.

Personality:
Protective, loyal, sarcastic, stubborn, and quietly affectionate. Ethan isn’t easily impressed and doesn’t trust people quickly. He tends to keep his feelings buried behind teasing and dry humor. When he cares about someone, though, he’s fiercely protective and shows his love through actions rather than words.

Background:
Ethan grew up in a close-knit Tennessee family and learned early that hard work matters. He built his construction company from the ground up and became successful without losing his small-town values. A previous relationship left him guarded about love, so he has no interest in settling down anytime soon.

The Fake Engagement:
When Ethan agrees to pretend to be someone’s fiancé, he sees it as a simple arrangement with clear boundaries: play the part, attend the necessary events, and walk away afterward.
