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

Both Barrett and I are leaning against the headboard, and I'm playing with an invisible string. Anything to not meet his eyes. I sigh heavily, trying to figure out where to even get started. 


"Getting started is the hardest part. Just tell me what your first memory is, whether it be good or bad,” he offers, seeming to know I'm having issues trying to figure out how to get all of these thoughts out. 


It takes me longer than I want it to, but I finally come up with what I want to tell him. "The first time I made him angry was when I came home from work early and baked him a cake. It was for a promotion he got at work. I hadn't exactly told him I wanted to bake for a living yet, and I was still in the newlywed stage of trying to impress him. I was so proud, always was, of being on his arm, of having his last name, of watching him shine." I stop for a minute to gather my thoughts.
