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

Monroe's is hopping tonight. Everyone dressed up, ready to welcome in the holiday season. After tonight, it seems like it's a mad dash for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. Most of the time, I feel like I go to sleep on Halloween night and wake up on New Year's day with no memory of how I got there.


“See anything you like?” my best friend, Barrett, asks.


He and I have known each other since we were toddlers. We're part of a friend group that calls each other best friends, but if I were forced to pick one, it would be him. He knows all my secrets, dreams, and fears. With the number of times we've saved each other's asses, we owe our lives to the other. 


I glance around, noticing the woman who's had my attention since I officially met her almost a year ago. “Kara Phillips is over there.” I motion with my beer.
