Romance Contemporary

Four years ago, Kacey Cleary's life took a drastic turn for the worst. She was involved in a drunk-driving accident that took the lives of everyone she cared for including her parents, sparing only her sister. The crash resulted in the complete crushing of one side of her body. Now Kacey's body is held together by metal and she keeps herself fit with rigorous exercise. The constant work outs also help with her anger problems as a way to channel her grief and hurt into a non-threatening expulsion.

When staying with her Aunt Darla and Uncle Raymond, Kacey grabs his younger sister, Livie and they make a run for it after Uncle Raymond slides into Livie's bed one night. Now living near the coast, Kacey and Livie move into an apartment surrounded by outrageous characters and one stunningly gorgeous guy next door.

Trent Emerson tempts Kacey like no other. As a girl not easily flustered by men, the fact that Trent has made Kacey into a blubbering fool shows that he is different from all other men. Trent's constant presence is enough to make Kacey open up to him. But the greatest obstacle is allowing him into her heart. Guarded like a prison, Kacey doesn't want to hurt anymore and Trent must tread carefully or lose her forever.

In a story about grief, pain and loss, Tucker pens beautifully light-hearted moments that shine in contrast to the darkness that the Cleary sisters have endured. TEN TINY BREATHS is a touching story that gives the most damaged of souls, another chance to live.

SUMMARY

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, holding her boyfriend’s lifeless hand and 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, 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 determined to find a way into Kacey’s guarded heart—even if it means revealing an explosive secret that could shatter both of their worlds.
