Holding on to Day (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736953785)

She's his light breaking through the darkness

A second chance? Why would Cassidy want one? She's already had everything she could possibly want: a husband, a baby on the way, the perfect life... until it all crumbled away.

Now, two years after her husband's death, Cassidy is barely holding on. Her interests don't go beyond her quiet existence on the lake or her German shepherd, Fred. ...That is, until an arrogant jerk buys the place next door and steals her dog.

A second chance? Mac doesn't need one. Or anyway, he doesn't deserve one.

Mac bought a dilapidated cabin because it mirrors his state of mind: broken, isolated, useless to humanity. Plus, the place is close enough to town that he can drink himself into oblivion. He has no interest in connections except for one-night stands and commandeered time with his neighbor's dog. That is, unless you count Cassidy.

It's a second chance: the one they both need.

At first, Cassidy and Mac merely exist next to each other, but the attraction between them-the bond of their broken existence-pulls them together again and again. They aren't always the best people, but the jagged edges of their lives begin to heal each other, even as they strike out against it.

★★★★★

Holding on to Day is the rerelease of Alive Day, Lilly K. Cee's debut novel. It is a book about redemption, pain, and healing after everything falls apart. The book contains steamy scenes; and, as with real life, includes some trigger warnings: PTSD, depression, loss of loved ones, violence, and a miscarriage. It also includes a happily ever after for two people who may be broken but are working hard to pick up the pieces.
