Laramie Briscoe

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

We're sitting across from one another in the most awkward of silences. She eats the meal I prepared for her while I just sit there, playing with mine because I'm not hungry. What we've become is a shell of who we were, but I guess that's to be expected.


We haven't been around each other in eight years. There's a lot of growth in that amount of time. I'm assuming the two of us are who we were back then, and that's just not the case.


Back when we first started dating in high school, we would talk about anything. There were never any quiet moments or awkward silences between us. We would imagine what our lives were going to be like once we graduated and got married. Everyone thought that the getting married part would come when we were twenty or twenty-one. No one knew we would get married right after graduating, but I had known. I knew I wanted her with me forever and was willing to commit the rest of my life to it. I thought she was too.
