Last Exhale (PB) (2014)

For Sydney Holmes and Brandon Carter, love is losing its strength. Infidelity is the side effect of both of their broken marriages. Now, struggling to pick up the pieces, each is clinging to the hope that lasting love still waits for them, inside--or outside--of marriage.

Sydney's not happy. Ever since marrying the wrong man, she's regretted her decision to marry for the ring--not for her husband. Now, nearly seven years and two kids later, it's not so easy to walk away. When a man drops into her life who gives her the oomph she's been missing, she may be on the verge of making another wrong decision.

Brandon's hurt. The death of his son was painful enough, but now he's faced with losing the love of his life. No matter how hard he tries, he can't make his wife love him. But soon the attention of another woman begins to mend his shattered ego. He moves out, and just as his new life grows comfortable, the reason his wife pushed him away surfaces, and Brandon must decide if the love they once shared is worth holding on to.

Love is the muscle of marriage. Both partners have to work to keep it strong and healthy, and without it, a marriage has no chance of survival. In The Last Exhale, Sydney and Brandon uncover the truth of what it really means to love--for better or for worse.
