Breathing Struggle (Shooting Stars Book 1)

Lea Lamb and Austin Wolf were young when they fell in love. They never imagined the future could hold anything other than together-forever. However, when Lea's father dies in a tragic fishing accident, she is crushed under the weight of her grief and catches a glimpse of another type of future, one she knows she's not strong enough to face. Austin, on the other hand, is angry. For the past fifteen years, he has believed the woman he loved with every ounce of his soul left him without so much as a backwards glance.

When Lea unexpectedly returns to their hometown, all the years of heartache inside Austin bubble to the surface and present themselves as blinding rage. Faced with the truth about the past and a newly discovered secret, these former lovers will learn that if they want to have any chance at the future they had given up on all those years ago, they will have to rescue one another from drowning in pain so debilitating it will leave them both fighting to breathe.

This book is intended for mature audiences and may contain triggers for some. Natasha Gentile's review said, "This book, this book, killed me. I was so surprised when Aurora announced that Austin was getting a book. I mean, we met Austin in Until Lilly where we didn't really want to like him, but we fell for him hook, line, and sinker. From the first page of this book, your heart is beating a little bit faster than normal."
