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

It's the first snowfall of the year, and I'm excited to wake Val up and see what her reaction is. The land our newly finished house sits on has a direct path that leads to the train trestle, and I'm planning on taking her out there today. So that we can check to see if our names are still there or not. It's been almost two years since we put our initials there, but I'm hopeful.

Once I have everything ready, I've taken it out to the trestle, and I've made sure that Nolan is going to keep watch, I head back to the house. When I walk inside, I'm surprised to see Val sitting on the couch, nursing a cup of coffee.

"Morning." I grin over at her, stomping my feet on the ground to get the snow off. "Did I wake you up when I left?"

"No." She yawns. "I'm so tired."
