Reason to Breathe (The Breathing Series #1)



A US bestselling and self-published phenomenon.

A passionate love. A brutal betrayal. Unwavering hope.

An incredible novel that will leave readers breathless and desperate for more.


In a town where most people worry about what to be seen in and who to be seen with, Emma Thomas would rather not be seen at all. She's more concerned with feigning perfection, pulling down her sleeves to conceal the bruises. Emma doesn't want anyone to know how far from perfect her life truly is.

When Emma unexpectedly finds love, it challenges her to recognize her own worth - but at the risk of revealing the terrible secret she's desperate to hide.
