The Air He Breathes (Elements, 1) by Brittainy Cherry

Tristan used to have it all, but now he's a broken shell of a man angrily lashing out at anyone who comes too close. He's fully prepared to be the monster everyone claims he is…until he meets a woman whose heart is just as shattered as his own. Together, they're no longer lost alone in the dark. Together, at last, they are free.

"VIVID AND BEAUTIFULLY EMOTIONAL." –ELLE KENNEDY, NYT BESTSELLING AUTHOR

I was warned about Tristan Cole.

"Stay away from him," people said. "He's cruel. He's cold. He's damaged."

It's easy to judge a man because of his past. To look at Tristan and see a monster. But I couldn't do that. I had to accept the wreckage that lived inside of him because it also lived inside of me.

We were both empty. We were both looking for something else. Something more. We both wanted to put together the shattered pieces of our yesterdays.

Then perhaps we could finally remember how to breathe.
