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

She's doing this shit on purpose. Laughing and grinning at Nolan as if she has no care in the world. Serves me right, though. She told me the ball was in my court, and I'm sitting here peeling the label on my beer bottle, instead of going out there and rightfully claiming what's mine. 


"How long are you going to sit here and steam?" Jasper asks, his eyes following mine. 


"I don't know," I shrug. "At this point it's a study in patience and self-sabotage."


Barrett is lifting his beer bottle to his mouth, but stops when he hears me. The side of his lips tilt up in a sardonic grin. "How's that going for you?"


I throw the cap of my beer at him. Grabbing it back up when he holds his hand up to block it. "You know exactly how the fuck it's going for me."
