How Slade Brothers Began
Alexis Winter, a Denver-based contemporary romance author, crafted the Slade Brothers series to capture the allure of small-town life and the complexities of love. Inspired by her love for the Rocky Mountains and her knack for writing steamy, emotional stories, Winter introduced the series in 2020 with Billionaire’s Unexpected Bride. Her goal? To create a family of protective, flawed, yet irresistibly charming brothers whose journeys to love would resonate with readers. Winter’s background in business and her observations of human connection shine through, grounding the series in relatable struggles and heartfelt triumphs.
The Heart of Slade Brothers
The series kicks off with Billionaire’s Unexpected Bride, where big-city lawyer Celeste Teller clashes with grumpy brewery owner Drake Slade. Tasked with helping him expand his business, Celeste sparks fly with Drake, unraveling his guarded heart while confronting her own ambitions. Off Limits Daddy follows Colton Slade, a single dad who falls for his daughter’s nanny, Brennan, despite opposition from her family. Baby Secret dives into Clay Slade’s story, where a fresh start in Colorado leads to an unexpected pregnancy and a battle with past demons. Finally, Loves Me Not delivers a poignant second-chance romance as Wyatt Slade reconnects with his high school love, Destiny, after a decade apart.
Winter weaves themes of trust, redemption, and the healing power of love throughout the series. The small-town Colorado setting, with its close-knit community and simmering tensions, adds layers of drama and authenticity. Each book is a standalone, but together, they form a tapestry of family loyalty and unresolved heartache, with steamy encounters and emotional depth that keep readers invested. The Slade brothers’ protective instincts and brooding charm make them unforgettable, while their heroines—fierce, independent women—bring balance and fire to the narrative.
