Jason Crane
Jason Crane is hot as hell and incredibly protective of those close to him. He’s the first male character I really created from the my own mind. Keep reading to learn more about Jason and how he came to be.
Jason Crane is a self-made billionaire, for the most part… He comes from a mafia family. But not just any mafia family. He comes from the most powerful mafia family in the entire world. The problem is he didn’t want any part of the mafia. Jason had never been able to kill and then forget about it. Each kill he was a part of weighed heavily on him.
It’s because of that reason that Jason started his own company. With a loan from his father and the use of his father’s mafia contacts, Jason built a property development company empire when he started Crane Enterprises. Jason became everything he wanted to be. A successful businessman running a legitimate company without ties to the mafia.
When I initially created him, I knew I wanted him to be a player of sorts. I wanted him to have a reputation of a womanizer. It didn’t quite turn out that way. Jason has a reputation, but his reputation is of a reputable business man who has had several woman grace the presence of his arm. He’s not disrespectful. He doesn’t grace tabloids. He doesn’t have another woman in his bed every single night. In the end, Jason ended up being a man looking for the love of his life. He knows what he wants and didn’t want to waste time with anyone who wasn’t what he was looking for.
I wanted Jason to fall head over heels in love with Jessa. I wanted him to be the protector she needed while still being everything she needed. I wanted him to not only have the power and connections to keep her safe, but I also wanted him to physical attributes to be a larger than life type of hero. At six feet six and built of solid steel, I think I did just that.
I love Jason’s protective side. I love that he’ll go to places he ran from in order to keep his girl safe. I love how sweet he is with Jessa and how he always finds ways to show her that he cares. I love all of that so much that as I rewrite Billion Dollar Love Story, I’m finding ways to show more of all of that while taking out things I hated.
How do you guys feel about Jason? Do you love him as much as me?
