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

Barrett needs to fucking leave. He's been a pain in my ass since he got here. I was having a good conversation with Daisy, almost opening up to her. Even though we'd shared words that were as far away from opening up as we'd ever been. In those quiet moments we had before he showed up, I'd felt close to her. Closer than I've been in years. I could feel it, on the tip of my tongue, ready to explode, and if he hadn't come over when he had? I would've done it.


Maybe I should be thanking the Lord that he showed up when he did, because I've never confessed to someone the shit that happened with my grandfather. I was always told not to, that no one would believe me, and I held that close to my heart, obviously longer than I should've. Needing to get Barrett out is becoming more of a must. So I make a big deal out of stretching and yawning. "I'm so damn tired," I sigh heavily, rubbing at my eyes.
