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.

"Do you have everything?" I ask Melanie as we get into my truck.


"Yeah," she replies, looking around her. "I got the dessert. Which I don't really feel qualified to bring since Val's bringing a dessert. And Gabby too, but... it's what was asked of me. And I grabbed the game to play."


In the past two months, we've really found our footing. And today is family dinner. She's never been to one, and I'm excited to introduce her to the tradition.


"I'm nervous," she admits, wiping her palms against her leggings.


"I understand. Almost everyone is the first time they come. But it's really laid back. Just know that there are some babies there. And there are some pregnant women, as you know. And it gets a little loud, especially when we play the game."


She cuts her eyes over to me. "What, y'all are competitive? Say less."


I flip her the finger playfully. She likes it when I got a little spicy.
