About this ebook

After a terrible car accident destroys her life as she knew it, twenty-year-old Kacey escapes to Florida, where she encounters an irresistible man determined to capture her wounded heart.

Just breathe, Kacey. Ten tiny breaths. Seize them. Feel them. Love them.

Four years ago, Kacey Cleary’s life imploded when her car was hit by a drunk driver, killing her parents, boyfriend, and best friend. Still haunted by memories of being trapped inside, listening to her mother take her last breath, Kacey wants to leave her past behind. Armed with two bus tickets, Kacey and her fifteen-year-old sister, Livie, escape Grand Rapids, Michigan, to start over in Miami. They’re struggling to make ends meet at first, but Kacey’s not worried. She can handle anything—anything but her mysterious neighbor in apartment 1D.

Trent Emerson has smoldering blue eyes and deep dimples, and perfectly skates that irresistible line between nice guy and bad boy. Hardened by her tragic past, Kacey is determined to keep everyone at a distance, but their mutual attraction is undeniable, and Trent is desperate to find a way into Kacey’s guarded heart—even if it means revealing an explosive secret that could shatter both their worlds.

Ratings and reviews

OMG!!! this book is up there in one of the best books I have read. I read it cover to cover in less than 12 hours as I could not put it down. For those that read the ratings, I'm not saying anything other than READ THIS BOOK!!!

Very intense story. It had me in the heart strings. It wasn't until halfway through the book that I realized what the author wanted me to figure out. So good, I cannot wait to read the rest of her books!

I got sucked into this book so quick! I literally cried and then felt like I needed more of the characters' lives in mine when it ended. I was slow figuring everything out because I was headed in a whole other direction and it was like a jolt of lightening when it hit. I would LOVE to see this as a movie!
