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

This studio apartment has been my haven from everything bad I've been running from, but this afternoon? It's closing in as if it's a jail cell. I've always hated thunderstorms, but in the past I've had my entire family with me. All twenty-two of us. It was easy to feel alone, even with all of them there, but I never felt scared of being alone. There was always someone physically around. It's what I struggle with right now more than anything.


Although I'm excited to have this as mine, it's scary at the same time. It's a responsibility that I'd had so much of, but only for myself. There's no one to share the happiness or the fear with. 


Vaughn's face pops into my mind. I could share a lot with him if only I'd allow myself to, but he terrifies me. I've never wondered if I could have a romantic relationship with anyone before, but I think about it all the time when he's around.
