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 weird sitting at my dining room table with Melanie directly across from me. There have been so many times since she left I imagined this very instance, but none of them add up to how it feels now. Especially as I talk to Kara about her impending marriage to Abel. There's happiness but also an anger that I can't quite place. Frustration, maybe. I wish I could articulate it all, but it's as if there's something stopping me. Like I can't fully get the thoughts out of my head or mouth.


Seeing her sit here with Kara laughing is a bit of a mind fuck. I want to be the person that she laughed with. I want to be the person who makes her smile. Then I feel guilty because I told myself when she left I wouldn't reduce my world to her any longer. The promise I made to myself was that I'd get out there and have friends who weren't tied to her, because it'd killed me when she left.
