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

I've texted Abel a couple of times over the weekend, but he hasn't gotten back to me. I'm starting to worry, so I leave the food truck early on Sunday, and head over to his house. With any other man, I wouldn't do this, I would feel odd just showing up, but I care about him, and it's never been like him to completely ghost me. Although we’ve only been romantic for a few weeks, we’ve been friends for much longer. His truck is in the driveway when I pull up. 


I'm slow getting out of my SUV, because there's something about this that feels off. I'm scared I'll find something I'm not sure I want to see. Going up the porch, I look through the windows, but I don't see him. I close my hand into a fist and knock on the door. There's a loud noise inside. "Abel, are you okay?" I yell inside.
