Breathing You In (The Courtlynd Series Book 1)

Winter 

Imagine going through a traumatic experience that almost changes your whole life. That's exactly why I try to live every day tucking my secret away. However, my abusive, alcoholic father likes to remind me daily how much of a screw up I am when all I want to do is forget about my past and live my life like a normal twenty-two-year-old. Then one day I walk into a bar, and everything changes. I lock eyes with Carsten Hatcher, and I forget how to breathe. Everyone seems to have their opinions of him; he's different around me, he shows me what it's like to feel loved for who I am, saving me from my life and from myself.

Carsten 

Some might call me a man whore and see me as someone who goes through girls like crazy, I just see myself as someone who doesn't do relationships. That is until I meet Winter, she catches my attention right away and I instantly become protective of her. She makes me want to change my old ways and things I never imagined wanting before. I will do anything I can to keep her in my life and make her mine, because now that I've had her, I'm too obsessed to lose her.
