Don't Breathe a Word

the long version

Joy Delamere is suffocating.From asthma, which has nearly claimed her life. From her parents, who will do anything to keep that from happening. From Asher, the brilliant, darkly sexy older boy whose dangerous words are smothering her from the inside out. To escape him, Joy must sacrifice everything. She turns to the streets of nearby Seattle and accepts the help of the fiercely protective homeless boy called Creed, who teaches her how to survive...and to breathe.
