The bestselling author's moving slow-burn romance about a great love that heals deep wounds—perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Lucy Score. I wanted to start over in my lakeside cottage in the sleepy town of Pelion, Maine. To forget everything I'd left behind. The sound of the rain. The blood. The cold of the gun against my skin. For six months, every breath has reminded me that I survived—and my father didn't. Now I'm almost safe again. But when I meet Archer Hale, my world is shaken once more. And will never be the same. Before I entered Archer's strange, silent, and isolated universe, he didn't speak to anyone. And yet, I see in his whiskey-colored eyes that something inexplicable is happening between us. There's so much more than just his beauty, his charisma, or the way his hands speak to me. On me. This town is full of secrets and betrayals, and Archer is the explosive center of it all. So much passion. And so much pain. Only in Archer's silence can we perhaps find what we need to heal... and to live. With an exclusive, extended epilogue from Archer's perspective. New product
