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

It's been a long, fucking cold day, and we're only halfway through. But I'm meeting the guys for lunch today at Monroe's, and I wish I could have a beer because my nerves are shot. I keep thinking about Melanie, why she left, what I'm gonna do, and what I really want. It's starting to fucking drive me crazy. And she just moved in.


I'm the first one here, even though Jasper should have come with me. He had to go meet Daisy for a doctor's appointment, so hopefully, he shows up soon. I'm cracking the peanut shells on the table, just needing something to make my hands busy when I look up. Boone's walking in with Alexis. He waves over, and I've never been so happy to see the elder statesman of our crowd. He kisses Alexis and then heads toward the table. When he gets close enough, he pulls out a chair and has a seat.


"What's up with you, man? I haven't heard from you in a while."
