Riley Hart Easton

Easton I'm the youngest Swift brother. The one who's always in trouble and can't get his life together. I wouldn't know where to start, and ever since my twin died, I can't bring myself to care. After my last "situation," Dad washed his hands of me. And though my brothers should've done the same, they stood up for me, fracturing their relationship with him too. He's a terrible father to all of us, but considering we're just figuring out how to build a relationship, I don't want them to lose him because of me. Officer Archer Thorn won't stop coming around either. After every screwup, every bad day, Archer's there to offer a hand. Before I know it, we're going to dog parks, sharing meals, and Archer seems at home hanging at my place. When he touches me, fills me, all the noise in my head goes quiet. He makes me want more, but he doesn't know how much that terrifies me, how much I worry that getting better means breaking a promise I made years ago. Each moment with Archer shows me how good a man he is. For the first time, I actually want to face my trauma and get over my past. Archer makes me see there's beauty in the world and, more importantly, he makes me want some of it for myself...that is, if I don't ruin Archer Thorn first. Easton is a small-town, hurt/comfort romance full of heart, heat, a touch-starved MC, and brothers learning how to have a relationship with each other. It deals with themes of grief, death of a parent and a sibling, and mental-health struggles.
