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.

The Broken Falls Series

“Why are you in such a good mood today? It's fucking hot and miserable,” Abel asks as we take a water break.


The August heat is beating down on us no matter how hard we try to get out of it. I took my shirt off a long time ago, and now I have a wet bandana over my head. “I had a good night. What can I say?” I shrug. 


“So who did you stay with?” He raises an eyebrow.


“Who said I stayed with someone, smartass? Last I checked, no matter how old you are, I'm your dad.”


“Oh, come on. You've never been like this with me.” He reaches over and steals a piece of an apple from my paper plate. “If we can't be honest with one another, then who can we be honest with?”


Barrett takes a seat, holding a bottle of water. “Yeah, Boone Daddy, if we can't be honest with one another, who can we be honest with?”


“Jesus Christ.” I sigh heavily. “I'm regretting being so open with y'all when you were growing up, now that I'm older and wanna keep my personal shit to myself.”
