Perhaps Travis Hale’s past is riddled with regrets, but his future looks limitless. He’s the police chief in idyllic Pelion, Maine, women are regularly falling at his feet, and his family has mostly forgiven his mistakes. But when the new guy in town crosses him, things start to look shaky—especially when he meets the stranger’s smoothie-making, birdseed-eating sister.
Haven Torres’s life fell apart. Or, rather, burned to the ground. At the time, it seemed like a solid idea to jump in her car, her brother a mostly-willing co-pilot, and embark on a cross-country adventure for the summer. Especially if she can catch the attention of Pelion’s most eligible bachelor, Gage Buchanan, before she goes. And after the local police chief tells her of her brother’s scandalous misdeed, she knows without a doubt that Pelion is just another town where their stay is best short-lived.
Still, she and Travis form an unlikely friendship, and at first, it seems simple enough. She’ll help him make her brother sweat a little, and he’ll help her win over Gage. But then Haven starts to see the man beneath the brooding, and Travis starts to see the woman beneath the mess.
However, Haven refuses to be tied to Pelion. And Travis has vowed never to be second best ever again.
Before they know it, simple has started to look pretty complicated.

What I thought about Travis
Travis Hale is a small town chief of police. And Pelion is
the typical everyone-knows-your-business kind of place. He's rebuilding
his relationship with his brother who owns the town, and maybe thinking
about asking his girlfriend to marry him. When that doesn't quite work
out the way he has planned,m it changes the course of his life in a
major way.
Even though he's sworn off women, he's intrigued when he meets the new brother and sister in town. Haven is lovely, and Travis is smitten, even though he's told himself he wouldn't. There's a really great friends to lovers thing that goes on between Travis and Haven. The story is told in dual POV, and I really enjoyed Travis's voice as he falls for Haven, and then realizes that it just probably won't work between them. There's plenty of emotions on the page, and I really felt his anguish as he goes through his redemptive arc.
I did find the break-uo-to-make-up at the end a little wild and unusual, but it fit with this couple. They had so much in common with their forward thinking attitudes, the happy-ever-after left me feeling warm and fuzzy. Overall, an enjoyable small town romance.
