The Last Breath: A Novel

"Fans of domestic suspense will adore Kimberly Belle." -Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Girl

From the internationally bestselling author of The Marriage Lie, a riveting story of deceit and dark truths.

Humanitarian aid worker Gia Andrews chases disasters around the globe for a living. It's the perfect lifestyle to keep her far away from her own dark past.

Sixteen years ago, Gia's father was imprisoned for brutally killing her stepmother. Now that he's back home and dying of cancer, Gia must care for him and reluctantly resumes the role of daughter to the town's most infamous murderer. Gia's old wounds are ripped open as protesters show up on the lawn and death threats are hurled at her, turning her own personal tragedy, once again, into front-page news.

As the past unravels before her, Gia finds herself torn between the stories that family, friends, and even her long-departed stepmother have believed to be real all these years. But in the end, the truth-and all the lies that came before-may have deadlier consequences than she could have ever anticipated....
