Stolen Breaths Series by Pamela Sparkman, Deanna Gohn

Sometimes pain lies underneath, buried so deep that for a moment you let yourself forget – until you can’t. I didn't realize how numb I was until I started feeling again, and he made me feel – everything. Cooper Hudson came into my life when I needed him the most – twice. This is my story. This is the story of us. “It was funny how you never really realized how lifeless you were until someone came along and gave you that shock to the chest that forced your heart to start beating again.” Note: This is a true love story. It is a story about overcoming tragedy and circumstance. It's about learning to heal through the heartache when you would rather hide from it. Lily and Cooper meet, and nothing is ever the same. less

A gorgeous redhead walks into a wedding reception. Poised, polished and flawless - on the outside.

But this will be no ordinary dance and theirs is no ordinary story. What begins as rhythmic steps on a dance floor fluidly and beautifully becomes the rhythm of two hearts meant to beat as one. Until the music stops. In a moment everything she's put behind her comes crashing down, threatening to destroy what his love has helped repair and rebuild. Life throws punches and it hits hard when you least expect it. What they learn is that sometimes, in order to be truly whole, you have to first be shattered to your very core. less
