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 spreadsheets in front of me blur as my eyes grow heavy. It's nearly midnight, and I've been going over these numbers for hours. I do have an accountant and a bookkeeper, but I still have to fill in certain things that only I know. And as a businessman I know not to blindly trust.

The house has felt different since I kissed Annabelle, warmer somehow, filled with a new kind of tension that gives me nervous energy. When she's not here I think about her. When she is here, I fight not to kiss her again. 


My phone buzzes against the desk, Annabelle's name lighting up the screen. Panic grips me as I answer.


"Belle? Everything okay?" I answer, immediately concerned by the late hour of her call.


"Can you come get me?" she says, her voice slightly slurred.


I'm already standing, reaching for my keys. "Where are you?"
