Main Character
Business Guy first meets the Main Character during the 'Wine and Mixers' where he saves her from Shane. He later invites her on a date in Venice. If she says that her idea of a perfect date is dancing the night away in Las Vegas, he mentions he can get them into any club there and hopes he can keep up with her. She doesn't meet him a lot because of his business schedule, but he surprises her with a bouquet and a date in Paris.

In the beginning, he doesn't know how to dance and doesn't like to embarrass himself in public because he knows people watch him due to his status/reputation in the public eye. By the Captain's Ball, he has learned how to dance as Main Character has inadvertently encouraged him to get out of his comfort zone and take personal risks. He is the third suitor to propose to her. If Katie decides he is the one she wants to be with in Book 1, Chapter 18, he asks her to meet him at the Nomade restaurant, where she finds her brother, youngest sister, and Elena in attendance. His proposal is interrupted by Ex-Fiance.

Ava Sloan
Ava is Business Guy's mother.

Rashad
Rashad is his business partner. Rashad tells Katie that William was there for him when his ex-fiancée broke off their engagement because she couldn't handle how much time he spent at work and how it caused them to drift apart. He doesn't want the same to happen to William.
