The Air He Breathes premise

Here's the synopsis of The Air He Breathes from Passionflix: 

"The Air He Breathes follows Elizabeth and Tristan, who find solace and healing in each other's company after suffering devastating losses. As they navigate their grief and past traumas, they discover the power of love and second chances."

And here's an excerpt from the book: 

"I was warned about Tristan Cole.

"'Stay away from him,' people said. 'He's cruel. He's cold. He's damaged.'

"It's easy to judge a man because of his past. To look at Tristan and see a monster. But I couldn't do that. I had to accept the wreckage that lived inside of him because it also lived inside of me.

"We were both empty. We were both looking for something else. Something more. We both wanted to put together the shattered pieces of our yesterdays.

"Then perhaps we could finally remember how to breathe."

Author Brittainy C. Cherry is an international bestselling author with over 20 books to her name. She specializes in romance stories that bring "heart, passion and a powerful journey of love."
