About This Book
He's not the one she came for.
But he just might be the one she stays for.
The emotional, highly anticipated follow-up to Archer's Voice, following Archer's troubled brother Travis.
Travis Hale has a lot going for him: chief of police in the small town of Pelion, Maine, a tragic past he's worked hard to overcome, and the kind of smolder that makes women forget their own names. But the scars of being "the wrong Hale brother" still cut deep.
Enter Haven Torres, a free-spirited mess with a broken past and zero plans to stay. She's in town for a reset, not to fall for the gruff cop who delivers tough love with an accidental side of soul-crushing chemistry.
When Travis offers to help her make another man jealous, it starts as a harmless deal. But soon, teasing glances turn into late-night confessions, and fake flirty touches start to feel dangerously real. Haven has her sights set on leaving, and Travis swore he'd never come in second place again. But love has a way of rewriting all the rules.
A slow burn so tender it aches. A second-chance brother story that hits deep.
This is Travis—and he's impossible not to fall for.
Tropes that will break (and heal) you:
• Grumpy x sunshine
• Small-town romance
• Misunderstood antihero
• Slow burn
• Fake dating
