The Last Breath

About the book

Introducing an exciting new voice in thrilling women's fiction comes a heart-wrenching tale of a woman who risks everything to uncover the harsh truth about her family...

Global relief worker Gia Andrews travels the world in search of disasters. It's the ideal way to keep her own personal traumas at bay. Sixteen years ago, Gia's father was jailed for the brutal murder of her stepmother. Now, as he battles cancer at home, she must care for him and confront his past sins.

Reluctantly stepping back into the role of the daughter of the town's infamous killer, Gia faces protests and threats that turn her family's tragedy into tabloid fodder. Reestablishing connections in her small Tennessee hometown means repairing strained relationships and finding solace in the arms of a charming local bartender.

As Gia delves into the secrets buried in her family's past, she grapples with conflicting narratives from relatives, friends, and even her deceased stepmother. The shocking truth, and the web of lies that preceded it, may have far more dangerous implications than she ever imagined.
