Barely Breathing

Lexi swore she'd never come back to her quirky Colorado mountain hometown—until life had other plans and sent her packing back to Scarlet Springs with her tail between her legs. When she literally crashes back into Austin, the ranger-turned-heartbreaker who's somehow gotten even more irresistible in the twelve years since she left, all her carefully constructed defenses start crumbling. What starts as a steamy friends-with-benefits arrangement quickly becomes complicated when old feelings resurface and Austin begins showing Lexi that maybe the life she's been searching for never required leaving at all. Get ready for sizzling chemistry, small-town warmth, and a second-chance romance that'll make you believe in coming home.
