Eighteen years have passed since Major Brian Ridley found redemption in completing his last mission as a Hell Hound. Since then, he has brought Oscar Company back to life with a new purpose and a new mission. On the home front, Avonlea Stone has thrived in the most important roles of her life as mother and wife, while still taking on small roles at StoneHouse Entertainment. Their middle child, Matthew, was a star quarterback in high school, with a bright future, until a sudden ending of a relationship at sixteen sent Matt's life into a spiral. With his future now back on track, he is focused and determined to reach his goals when his past makes an unexpected re-entry into his life, causing his world to collide with his parents’ worlds.
As the many changes of modern life and a new generation roll into the Liberty Creek Law Firm, Brian and Oscar Company begin to learn who their new enemy is and how they are unlike anything Oscar Company has met on the battlefield before. No one can stop what is coming, but Brian and Oscar Company aren’t the kind of men who give up easily.
When Avonlea and Brian were forced to make their relationship known after the events of LA in May of 1996, she was told that he would be the greatest mistake of her life. Although their relationship was not without challenges. From the end of book 3, The Ghost of Oscar when this AI generated Image is thought to take place, to the timeline of book 4, Embers to Ashes, twenty years has passed. They are now in their mid-40s and their kids are all young adults.
I have often considered asking AI to generate another photo of Brian and Avonlea to reflect this but I'm a bit scared to. It doesn't listen very well and if you want dark hair, it gives you dark skin and blonde hair or puts three people in a photo you want one, or doesn't listen to what you typed in at all. (Hence some of the images below.) Avonlea's natural hair color is light brown or dark blonde, as is Casey's and Matthew's. I still believe that your imagination is the best and these are only possible examples of what they *could* look like, if they might be real. It is what it is.
This is how Adobe Photoshop AI visualizes the children of Brian and Avonlea.
The eldest daughter of Brian and Avonlea Ridley. She has her father wrapped around her little finger and is the blend of the Ridley and Stone DNA. She is undeniably "Daddy's Little Girl."
The eldest son and middle child, Matt was the star quarterback in high school.
The youngest and got the most of the Stone's genes, he wants to become a firefighter
Nate has been Matt's best friend since he was a toddler and has always sworn that he would one day marry Casey.
The girl that broke Matt's heart. Avonlea Stone's "biggest fan" Sara left Cable Glen for stardom in Hollywood.
The girl who has had a crush on Matt since the moment she laid eyes on him but is too shy to say anything.
Nate's cousin and adopted sister, Jenna and Cody didn't know they liked each other until Matt and Nate pointed it out.
Tommy Ridley is the youngest Ridley brother, only 3 years younger than Brian and 16 years younger than their oldest brother Brennan. Obviously a younger photo than when you meet Tommy, who is in his 40s in this book.
Billy Smith is the right hand man and Brian's brother-in-law. First a Marine, he was recruited by Brian around the time this photo shows, in his late 20s as he is only 2 years older than Brian.
Tom Ridley likely around the time you meet him in Portrait of an Unlikely Affair.
Maggie Hudson, also about the time you meet her in Portrait of an Unlikely Affair. Like I said, I'm hesitant to run a new AI gen of them.
