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

“Have you ever gone to a Halloween party dressed in a couples costume before?” Alexis tugs down her short skirt over her thighs. 


“Can't say I have. Last time I even went to a Halloween party was when Abel was little, Probably around ten. It's not necessarily a holiday we celebrate. I guess we're all changing that this year since Monroe's is having a shindig.” I pull the white T-shirt down over my biceps. It's a little tighter than I would normally like, but Lex insisted.


She leans over the bathroom sink, painting her lips red. 


“What are our costumes again?” I ask, grabbing for the leather jacket.


She finishes with her lips, wiping around the edges with her nail. “The Taylor Swift song ‘Style.’ Ya know—red lips, short skirt for the woman and James Dean style for the man?”
