I’m old enough to be her father, and a life-long confirmed bachelor, but after one night together, all that is about to change. 

Boone Wilson

Instead of building my forever with a conventional family, I’ve dedicated my life to being the best father I can to the son I had way too early in life. Now that he’s grown, I’m giving all I can to my job. I make a construction site run smoothly, and can build anything with a couple pieces of wood and my imagination.

My world is small and calm. That’s how I like it. Until Alexis Monroe barrels her way into my peaceful existence and turns my world upside down.

“Hank? You in here?” Boone asks as we enter. 


Surprisingly, it's bright, well-kept, and clean inside. Nothing shines in an architectural way, but the neatness of the place does impress me. A few pictures hang on the walls along with a couple of awards. I don't have time to study them before I hear someone speaking.


“Yeah,” a deep voice says from behind a door. “Be right there.”


On instinct, I smooth my shirt down my torso and run my palms along my jeans. I've always been nervous before an interview, but this time, I haven't even filled out an application. 


“You're good.” Boone puts a hand to my neck and rubs. 


The man who walks out from the room catches me by surprise. I've served him a few times at Monroe's and even carded him because I thought he was too young to drink, so I know how old he is. 


<em>Thirty-one, and he owns this construction company?</em>
