Feenie Malone lived a comfortable life married to a lawyer, keeping herself busy with charity projects, until she discovered her husband was having an affair. Two years later, Feenie works as a cub reporter, barely making ends meet. When she learns her ex-husband withheld joint property, a boat, in the divorce settlement, she wants her share. Under the cover of night, Feenie goes to her husband's home to get proof that he still has the boat, but someone knocks her down and throws her in the water. She has guts, if not prowess, in sneaking around.

Marco Juarez, ex-cop and private investigator, is investigating the murder of his sister. Evidence has led him to Feenie's ex-husband, but he doesn't expect Feenie to show up on his stakeout. Juarez throws her in the water as a drastic action to keep her safe. Feenie may have knowledge Juarez needs, so he intends on getting to know her; it's an added bonus that he's attracted to her. He just hasn't planned on falling in love with her.

Feenie's ex-husband knows she's been snooping around. He's a dangerous man linked with well-known crime figure, and so far she's been able to escape the attempts on her life. Juarez is doing all he can to keep her safe. She wants to write a breakout story about her ex and knows Juarez has information. But more importantly, she needs to know whether Juarez has been using her to further his investigation or if he might feel something for her.

ONE LAST BREATH brings two goal-driven characters together for a common objective. Lots of action -- on stakeouts and in bed -- makes for one hot story.

When pampered former cheerleader Feenie Malone takes a job writing fluff pieces for her South Texas paper, she has no idea she's about to stumble into a juicy news story that could launch her career -- if it doesn't get her killed first. Almost as soon as she breaks out her press pass, she crosses paths with Marco Juarez, the macho PI obsessed with solving his sister's murder.

Juarez has zero patience for reporters, especially mouthy blond ones. But with the evidence pointing to Feenie's ex- husband, Marco thinks she could be useful. Confident he can keep her on a tight leash, he lets her in on his investigation. He quickly discovers he's underestimated his new partner, as well as the danger they both face. Now he must protect her -- to the very last breath....
