Biography
Jack Redhead's First Ride character centers on a man who knows his ranch and takes pride in running it. As Ethan's father and the ranch owner, Jack is comfortable in the countryside and quick to respond when something needs attention. Confident and physically imposing, he makes a strong impression without having to explain himself at length. His manner contrasts with Ethan's more hesitant personality, particularly now that his son has settled into life in the city. Roxy grew up in the household Jack helps run, so his strong presence is part of the familiar background that the visiting newlyweds must adjust to.
