**Aiden McIntyre--Skylar's ex-boyfriend and Shiloh's father.  He didn't believe Skylar was telling the truth about her pregnancy (thinking she was saying that to keep him around).  They initially meet again so Aiden could be tested for possible stem cell donation; they later reunite, marry, and have a child (Miles Robert)

*Cole--initially a high school student who is a top-level basketball star, later goes to college and eventually to the professional ranks.  His story will be portrayed in ''[[Cole(book)|Cole]]'', the tenth and final book in the series.  He is discovered to be the best match for Shiloh as a possible stem cell donor.  In the ninth book, he is friends with Aiden (but wasn't aware that he was Shiloh's father, nor about his comments about Skylar), and has a friendship with "Annie", who is hinted that she will be his love interest.

**Annelisa "Annie" Walker (nee Burke).  The daughter of uber-rich Duncan Burke, her surname is changed after she and her twin sister, Angelica, were kidnapped; she was returned after a ransom was paid but Angelica was not, and the family never knew if she was still alive or murdered.  It caused her mother to essentially abandon her; she has no relationship with her.  Her father has become overprotective of her, her older full sibling Julian, and her younger half sibling Benjamin (Benji), and at one point threatens Cole's career (as he has purchased a part interest in the NBA franchise for whom Cole plays).  She has an online business making custom clothing; however, she donates all the proceeds - plus matching amounts from her monthly allowance - to a local women's shelter. (A planned follow-on series will feature Annie's three siblings; Angelica is discovered to be alive and living in rural Kentucky with a couple who took her in after her "parents" - likely those who kidnapped the girls - claimed they were "unable" to care for her.)
