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

Anger courses through my body like I’ve touched a live wire. Is she fucking with me right now? I'm her home? She unraveled the life we had woven together and threw it away as if it meant nothing. I clench my jaw, grinding my molars, trying to tame the fire within.


“Start talking, Mel. I need an answer that’ll put an end to this madness,” I demand, voice laced with desperation and a hint of vulnerability.


Her fingers cling to the blanket, an attempt to shield against the storm brewing in the room. A part of me wishes I could hold her instead, our bodies as close as our hearts once were.


"There were things... shadows over our marriage, secrets I kept out of fear you’d walk away," she admits, her words a whisper, yet they crash through me like a thunderstorm.


My heart stutters, an echo of loss beats through my veins.
