Characters
Kyler Malloy - A stockbroker in London who lived with Nancy's family as an exchange student four years ago. She is now engaged to Matt Simmons and is excited to hold her wedding at Castle Malloy. Her grandfather, Edmund Malloy, recently died and named her as sole beneficiary. He never spoke about his childhood and Kyler is just now learning about her true family history.
Matt Simmons - A travel and sailing freelance magazine writer. Known for his dry wit, Matt loves to play pranks on others. Friendly and likable, he had wanted to get married in the Bahamas, but agreed to change his plans to make his fiancée, Kyler Mallory, happy.
Kit Foley - Matt's best friend and accomplice on sailing trips. Kit was born in the US and is the son of a Krolmeister executive. His family moved to London when Kit was young, but he kept his American accent. He currently works as a land developer, and he arrived early to help Matt and Kyler prepare for their wedding. He used to date Kyler, and was the one who introduced Kyler to Matt.
Donal Delany - Castle Malloy's ever-present caretaker, Donal has been overseeing the grounds for too many years to count. This Irish-born gentleman isn't particularly fond of the British, as he is first to admit. He is the resident expert on Irish mythology and lore, which might explain his superstitious nature. He likes Kyler but hates Matt.
Alan Paine - Matt's best man and colleague. He can only be contacted by phone.
Seamus - The owner of The Screaming Banshee Inn. He is an unseen character but you can hear his voice when Nancy is making drinks.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
