Learning to Breathe

*This book was previously published as part of The Collective Season one. There are no significant changes to the story.

Since her husband's death, Sally Levenson's life has become dull and monotonous. She's the county Coroner, and while the dead reveal their secrets, she hides from the living. Hiding isn't working. Sally is trapped in a bland, colorless existence. She's suffocating and wants more, whatever that might be.

When the dark and mysterious Derek Lemark enters her world, he opens doors to new possibilities, reveals dark desires, and challenges her to take a second chance on life. He dares her to breathe again and promises...more. But what he offers comes at a price.

Sally must choose: take the next step, or speak the one word which ends everything before it even begins.
