Save Your Breath: Special Edition - Paperback

by Kandi Steiner (Author)

THIS JUST IN: HOCKEY BAD BOY AND POP STAR EXTRAORDINAIRE ENGAGED!

That was the headline we'd wanted. If only I'd known the cost to get it.

Aleksander Suter has been my best friend since high school-and the only man who's ever been able to truly get under my skin. With his reputation for trouble and a smirk that could melt ice, he's also the NHL's favorite bad boy.

When my publicist's plan to fix my image collides with his need to clean up his own, we find ourselves in a fake engagement that feels too real from the start.

Now, I'm releasing my new album, putting on a show for the paparazzi I usually try to dodge, and falling too fast for a man who never falls for anyone. Every stolen glance, every heated touch blurs the lines between us until I'm wondering where the lies end and the truth begins.

And when a hurricane traps us together in his high-rise condo, all my carefully built walls collapse, and resisting the pull between us becomes a losing game.

Suddenly, the stakes are higher than just headlines, and the risks feel more personal than ever.

But as our past resurfaces and old feelings reignite, I realize the biggest risk isn't losing my career-it's losing my heart to the one person I thought would never be mine.
