He's saved her. He's loved her. He's killed for her.
Eighteen-year-old Archer couldn't protect his best friend,
Vivian, from what happened when they were kids, so he's
never stopped trying to protect her from everything else. It
doesn't matter that Vivian only uses him when hopping from
one toxic relationship to another—Archer is always
there, waiting to be noticed.
Then along comes Evan, the only person who's ever cared
about Archer without a single string attached. The harder he
falls for Evan, the more Archer sees Vivian for the
manipulative hot-mess she really is. But Viv has her hooks
in deep, and when she finds out about the murders Archer's
committed and his relationship with Evan, she threatens to
turn him in if she doesn't get what she wants… And what she
wants is Evan's death, and for Archer to forfeit his last
chance at redemption.
