RIVER Buried deep under a mountain of lies, I’m struggling for air. My life, my choices are being dictated by my father. I was forced to give up the man I love in order to protect him and now I must marry a man who I hate. I thought I had found a way out. I thought my time in this gilded cage was almost over. Then one day Jaxson Holden walks back into my life, flipping it upside down. He’s angry, I get it. But he has no idea how much I have to lose—how much he has to lose with him coming back. Now I need to find a way to hold on while I’m gasping for breath as my past and present collide. Just keep breathing, River. Just keep breathing. Barely Breathing is a Second Chance Standalone Romance and the first book in the Keep Breathing Series.
