Part of Holland Brothers
First published 2025
Archer Holland is everywhere. He fills the apartment with loud music, walks around in gray sweatpants like he owns every room, and watches her like she's a problem he hasn't solved yet. The protagonist knows the rules: Archer is her brother's best friend, and that makes him off-limits. Full stop. Except he's also loyal and protective with everyone else, which makes his cold suspicion toward her sting in a way she can't shake. She wants to be annoyed. Mostly she just wants him. Then comes a late-night rescue, and suddenly they aren't just sharing a wall anymore. Archer pulls back fast, calls it a mistake, and tries to reset the boundaries. That's where he miscalculates. She is done letting him set the terms. Comeback follows a woman who stops waiting to be trusted and starts demanding to be seen, inside a football romance that includes ASL and chronic illness representation, dual point-of-view narration, and a guaranteed happily ever after. It is the third book in Rebecca Jenshak's Holland Brothers series and stands fully on its own.
