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

My phone rings loudly, breaking the laughter of Abel and myself. Reaching over, I see my mom's name on the screen. She hardly ever calls me during the day, so either it's something really good, or something really bad. Fumbling to unlock it, I answer. "What's goin' on, Mama?"


Her voice doesn't sound quite right, and immediately I'm stopping everything I'm doing and tuning myself into whatever the fuck is happening. "What's wrong?"


She says the words all in a rush, which gives me more anxiety. One thing about my mom, she usually keeps her shit together, and can coherently explain things, no matter what is happening. "Susan and I came into Get Baked, because I wanted her to try that sandwich. You know the one I'm talking about."
