Every Breath You Left Behind
"We owned the entire cosmos. Even if it was only for a second."
Savannah Vance is a self-made empire builder. Raised in the foster system, she has spent her entire life running from her past, building Vance Enterprises to ensure no one could ever lock her out again. She doesn't have time for distractions, she doesn't have time for weakness, and she certainly doesn't have time for love.
Because behind her sharp corporate suits, Savannah is hiding a devastating secret: her lungs are failing, and her clock is rapidly ticking down.
Noah Cross is a billionaire captive. As the fragile heir to Cross Global, his life has been a series of sterile hospital wings, overprotective corporate handlers, and a ruthless father who treats him like a financial asset.
He has everything money can buy, except a reason to draw his next breath.
Until a chance encounter on the Plaza Hotel rooftop changes everything.
When Savannah gives Noah the address to a hidden, glass-walled cafe on the Manhattan waterfront at dawn, two worlds collide. For the first time, Noah finds a sky he can breathe under, and Savannah finds an anchor in the storm.
But as their rival families close in, and their shared terminal illnesses begin to steal what little time they have left, Noah and Savannah must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice to protect their stolen sanctuary.
From the cold skyline of New York City to a misty, secluded beach cottage in Rhode Island, this is a story about two broken clocks ticking down in perfect sync. Because legacy isn't about what you take from the world-it's about the breaths you leave behind.
