Ladies and gents, get ready to fall head over heels for Leo Wilcox — the leading man behind Peckers: The Pact.


He has the three “H’s” of any leading man:


He’s Handsome.

He’s Humorous.

He’s Heartfelt.


But before you dive into the first book in The Peckers Series, allow me to introduce you to our resident heartthrob.


Here are 7 things you don’t know about Leo Wilcox:


Leo Wilcox from Peckers: The Pact
Meet Leo Wilcox.

1. He’s an Empathetic Big Brother


Leo is six years older than his sister Penelope and nine years older than Melissa.


He takes his role as big brother very seriously, but not in the overbearing, hyper-protective way many romance heroes do.


He is patient.


He listens.


And he never steps in unless they say they can’t handle it.


2. He’s Charitable


When it came time to earn community service hours in high school, Leo found himself volunteering in a reading program at a local group home.


Within his freshman year, he had already earned the hours needed to graduate, but he discovered he genuinely loved working with the kids.


He returned as a tutor during his sophomore and junior years before having to find a job senior year.


3. He Has Eclectic Music Taste


His tastes tend to lean toward rock, metal, grunge, and alternative, but there are a couple of other influences on his playlist.


His mom — a lover of theater and movies — gave Leo an appreciation for soundtracks.


He owns a couple albums in particular that he doesn’t play often, but when he does, they bring him a sense of peace.


His other favorite is ’80s music.


It reminds him of accompanying his father to jobs, listening to the radio with the windows down as they quietly sing along.


4. What You’ll First Notice


When you first see Leo, you might be impressed by his size.


He’s 6’1” with naturally broad shoulders.


But once you catch his storm-blue eyes, you’re sure to be hypnotized.


And then you start talking to him.


That’s when you notice his natural charm and respectfully flirty behavior.


That’s when you know…


you’re hooked.


5. He Values His Relationships


For Leo, the quality of his relationships far outweighs the quantity.


Although generally well-liked by almost everyone he meets, his interactions have seldom yielded deeper relationships.


He’s never really cultivated a large friend group.


His closest friend is Garrett, someone he grew up with, who has since moved out of state.


6. He Is Not Athletic


In the summer before sixth grade, Leo desperately wanted to skateboard.


He saved his allowance and birthday money to get the gear and spent the entire summer at the skate park trying to master the technique…


only to discover, with remarkable grace, that he just cannot skate.


His sister Mel inherited his gear and now shreds like nobody’s business.


7. What Readers Are Saying


Beta readers seem most impressed by Leo’s steadiness.


“I think we all need someone in our life who is just that patiently persistent,” one reader said.
