Seduce Me at Sunrise characters

By Lisa Kleypas

Every entry below is hidden until you open it, and each names the chapter the character first appears in.

Winifred Hathaway (Protagonist)

Also known as Win

Appears from the start

The second Hathaway sister, returning from two years of medical treatment in France after scarlet fever left her dangerously weak. Her health and determination have grown, and she intends to build a full life rather than remain the fragile invalid her family remembers. She has loved Kev Merripen since girlhood.

Kev Merripen (Protagonist)

Also known as Merripen

Appears from the start

A Romani man taken in by the Hathaways as a wounded boy and raised as part of their household. Powerful, taciturn, and fiercely devoted to Win, he oversees the family's estate but believes his violent childhood and intense nature make him unfit to be her husband.

Dr. Julian Harrow (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 2

The French-trained physician who supervised Win's recovery at a clinic in France and escorts her home. Cultivated, attentive, and confident in her improved health, he offers the socially acceptable courtship that Merripen refuses to provide.

Cam Rohan (Supporting)

Also known as Cam

Appears from the start

Amelia's Romani husband, formerly the manager of a London gaming club. Prosperous, perceptive, and comfortable in both aristocratic and Romani worlds, he treats Merripen as family and notices clues that their unknown pasts may be connected.

Amelia Hathaway (Supporting)

Also known as Amelia Rohan

Appears from the start

Win's protective elder sister and Cam's wife. Accustomed to managing the unconventional Hathaway household, she welcomes Win's restored strength but worries about the pain caused by Merripen's refusal to acknowledge what both he and Win want.

Leo Hathaway (Supporting)

Also known as Lord Ramsay

Appears from the start

The eldest Hathaway sibling and reluctant Viscount Ramsay. Still marked by the death of his fiancée and inclined toward drink and irreverence, he nevertheless sees his sisters clearly and challenges Merripen's habit of turning self-denial into a substitute for honest choice.

Poppy Hathaway (Supporting)

Appears from the start

The bookish middle Hathaway sister, nearing the age when the family must consider her London debut. Sensitive and romantic, she observes Win's struggle with sympathy while navigating the affectionate disorder of the household.

Beatrix Hathaway (Supporting)

Appears from the start

The youngest Hathaway, an energetic girl with an instinctive affinity for animals and little interest in conventional behavior. Her unusual pets and blunt observations make her a lively presence in the family as Win returns home.

Catherine Marks (Minor)

First appears in chapter 4

The Hathaways' capable companion and former governess. She brings practical order to the family without trying to make them conventional, and she helps support the sisters as the household prepares for changing social responsibilities.
