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

We've had another super busy day, but we're looking to celebrate Valentina's birthday tonight, and I want us to be able to have a few hours before we get ready and leave. "What do you think about closing early?" I slip the idea into our conversation, not wanting her to think that I'm doing something because of her. It's special, but she shies away from attention." That way we can get ready, and you can have a few hours off before your party."


There's excitement in her eyes, and I think she wants to say yes, but at the same time I think she's afraid to. If there's one thing I've learned about her in the past couple of weeks, it's that she's almost terrified to give voice to anything she actually wants. She doesn't ask for anything, and she's scared to put anyone out. I haven't been able to get her to confide in me yet, but I hope one day I'll be able to do so. 


She looks over at me. "If it wouldn't be too much trouble. I got a new outfit to wear."
