Archer Malone is my husband.

My rock hopper penguin.

He’s a homicide detective, and I… am a killer.

That one small detail has always been a thorn in our marriage.

But love does strange things to a man. And the actions once thought intolerable become bearable.

Which means, for now, I remain a free woman.

But secrets rarely stay hidden, and word tends to travel fast.

The identity of a r*pist’s killer is spreading. Now I’m left wondering if my time in Copeland City is coming to an end.

I still have work to do. Innocents to protect. And victims to find justice for. But with my freedom in question, Archer is determined to choose for us.

No matter how much I want to stay, he’s already packing our bags.
