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

I'm frozen to the bone by quitting time. It's one of the worst parts of working out in the elements, but it's also one of the reasons I like working outside so much. It makes me feel something. Whether it be hot, cold, wet, uncomfortable, whatever. For so long after my parents died, I didn't feel anything. I would hurt myself just to have an emotional response. I would get into fights and goad my opponents into hitting me. It's been many years since I did that, but only because I was able to get this physically demanding job. 


I wave at Weston as I get in my truck and drive away. Today is not the day to sit around and shoot the shit. I'm not in the mood for it. Fact is I haven't been in the mood for it for a while, but I would still do it. Today, I can't make myself. 


I'm still irritated about the way I left my grandfather this morning.
