The Air I Breathe

Steadfast Love Series Book 1

One moment of weakness. One chance at redemption.


Single mom Kelly Sutton thought she had left her past struggles behind, but starting over in Arizona brings them rushing back. Determined to rebuild her life near her daughter’s father, Kelly is blindsided when panic attacks threaten to unravel her carefully laid plans. In her darkest moment, help comes from an unexpected source—Matt Dixon, the kind yet overburdened roommate of her ex.


For Matt, juggling a demanding career, seminary classes, and an internship at church leaves little room for distractions. But when Kelly’s vulnerability sparks something deeper in him, his perfectly organized life takes a sudden turn. Can he find space in his heart for love without sacrificing his calling? And can Kelly trust herself—and Matt—enough to embrace a second chance at happiness?


This tender Christian Contemporary Romance explores themes of faith, resilience, and the courage to love. Will Kelly and Matt find their way to each other—or will their dreams pull them apart?
