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

My gaze goes over to my mom who stands over to the side, looking irritated that she's here. "Let me go talk to my mom for a few minutes," I tell Rachelle. "She and my sister drove down, but there's no way I'm going to be able to leave with this line, and there's not even enough seats for people to sit." This is turning into a clusterfuck.  


"We've got this, do what you need to do. You know that everyone will wait for you. They don't care how long it takes for the food." 


I know all of this, but the stress it gives me is almost palpable. "Be right back." I head out the back of the truck, and make a beeline straight for where Mom and Keely stand. "Hey you two, I'm so sorry about this. We're much busier than I thought we'd be, but we're closing down as soon as the parade starts." 


Keely grins. "I can't believe how many people are in this line, sis."
