More About this Book


Book Description
Lincoln McCaw lost everything—his home, his job, his partner—after he caused a fatal accident. A year later, he's drowning the guilt and despair in whiskey, but he needs to move on. His sister and her kids are counting on him. Then he meets a man who ignites a passion Lincoln thought he’d never find. Too bad one night is all they can have together. Now he needs to figure out how to turn away from the only person who makes him feel alive…before whoever is sending him threats decides Lincoln needs to suffer more than he already has.

Jay Miller is surrounded by grief and misery until he finally gives in to all those years of sexual fantasies about being with another guy. Realizing he’s ended up in the arms of the man who caused his wife’s accident, he tries to pull away. But how can he give up a friendship he needs more than anything—a friendship and a love that could save him? He may not have time to make the choice before someone else destroys it all.

This book contains explicit sexual content and graphic language.

Rated Best Book

"BREATHE was both believable and authentic. The characters, their issues, and the action was organic, flowing beautifully from one scene to the next. The fact Ms. Parker has managed this with a large cast of characters and fast-paced movement is nothing short of masterful writing."

DH Starr at The Romance Reviews
A Top Pick

"It’s hard enough to have two people meet, convincingly draw them together, make the reader love them, and craft a story that brings the reader on a ride. But to place two characters who have such a major event tying them together and holding them apart at the same time…it was captivating. And without giving anything away, I’ll simply state that this talented author has delivered. She has managed to create both as sympathetic, sexual, and lovable. Their relationship becomes something you not only want but need to see succeed."

"Vivid and emotional, the sex between Jay and Lincoln not only sizzles with raw physicality, but it also burns with pure emotion."

A Recommended Read

"Breathe has an exceptional cast of characters, and they are exceedingly well-developed and breathtakingly three dimensional."

Kathy at BlackRaven’s Reviews

"Sloan Parker has created a superb saga that kept me on the edge of apprehension until the end. I thoroughly enjoyed Breathe."

Chocolate Minx at Literary Nymphs Reviews

"If you’re looking for a book that’s suspenseful and definitely not run of the mill, then Breathe should be on your “buy’ list."

Wave at Reviews by Jessewave

"Sloan Parker doesn't write genre gay erotic romance; she writes amazing stories with main characters that happen to be gay men."

Pia Veleno at Goodreads

A Top Pick

"As a reader you can't help but sympathize with both heroes, thanks to the author's skillful way of depicting them and their conflict. Both are great, loveable characters, who have their flaws but are basically good-hearted and honest men."
