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

"You look...different," Abel says, narrowing his eyes at me as I check my reflection in the hallway mirror.


"Different how?" I ask, smoothing down my button-up shirt for the hundredth time. It's navy blue, Annabelle's favorite color on me. Not that I chose it for that reason or anything.


"I don't know. Clean? Nervous?" My brother drops onto the couch, where Ash is already curled up watching her favorite cartoon. "Where are you going again?"


"Out," I say, purposely vague. I haven't told Abel or his wife Kara that I'm going on a date with Annabelle. It's not that I'm embarrassed, far from it, but I know they'll make a bigger deal of it than it needs to be. For now, I want to keep this night just for us.


"With?" Abel presses, never one to let things go.


"Friends," I answer, which isn't technically a lie. Annabelle is my friend. Among other things.
