Release Date: February 22, 2022
A brand new firefighter series from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!
Problem: My ex is marrying my ex-bestie.
Plan A: Burn the church down?
Plan B: Fake marry my friend.I haven’t seen Archer since fifth grade. When he shows up in our small hometown and offers to marry me, I don’t ask many questions. I get to salvage my shredded pride and do him a favor.
I only need one thing from him—sell the deal when my ex comes back to town to marry my ex-bestie. Now I’m fake-married to a totally hot guy who needs a wife for *reasons*.
I’m way too cynical to fall for anyone, but Archer’s hard to resist. He keeps telling me we’re just faking it, but trust me when I tell you, there are some things we are not faking.
This was never supposed to be real. Until he whispers, fall for me.
Archer & Phoebe’s story is perfect for readers who love: Marriage of convenience, friends to lovers, slow burn, broody secret billionaire, small town gossip, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of steam and swoon, and a hero with a protective streak a mile wide.
*A full-length, standalone romance.
Archer’s Note is SO swoony!

Dear Phoebe,
I’m wondering if I should fold this letter into a triangle, just like we used to do back in elementary school. I’ve missed you ever since I moved away, but back when I was 11, I mostly missed getting the chance to see who had the most nerve when it came to cliff diving. Spoiler alert: It was you.
Always you. In more ways than one.
Seeing you again now, you aren’t the girl I remembered, but I know you. You’re still the best friend I’ve ever had, the kind of friend who doesn’t come along very often. I can’t say I knew what to expect when I saw you again, but I definitely didn’t expect to want you so much I ached.
I know you think this whole thing we’re doing is fake. It’s not. Maybe that’s how it started, but it’s real, as real as the stars in the sky and the moonlight on the water. Like you, those are real and true, and yet gilded with a touch of magic, the almost impossible.
I need you to believe in me, to believe in us, to remember that our old friendship only tightens the ties that bind us. The words love, want, need and cherish can’t even capture how deep my feelings for you run. You are the only person who holds claim to my heart.
All my love. Always. In all ways.
Archer
