  Diagnosed with terminal cancer, retired marine biologist Delphine is on the brink of throwing in the towel. She has outlived her PI husband and worries she’s become a burden to her son and his growing family. One night, while contemplating how to go on, Delphine witnesses a violent argument between a man and his girlfriend. When Delphine discovers the woman has gone missing along with her young child, Delphine embarks on a quest to find them.  
   
  What begins as a chance encounter balloons into a rescue mission across the Pacific Northwest. Along the way, Delphine encounters the dregs of humanity—grappling with schemers, kidnappers, and murderers—as well as its joys. With the help of a few friends, a retired PI, and a queer biker gang, Delphine is determined to see her mission through … knowing full well it may be her last. 
   
  While Big Breath In stands alone, longtime Straley fans will recognize the characteristic wit, heart, and contemplation of life that threads through every one of his books—and discover a new heroine to fall in love with. 
   
  “Once again, John Straley serves up a masterclass in storytelling with this page-turning tale of mystery, loss, and kinship. You’ll instantly fall for Delphine, the main character with a heart as big as the whales she researches. Straley has imbued every page of this novel with a deeply personal love that hits you hard.”—Don Rearden, author of The Raven’s Gift

  For Rylan Greene and me, it was simple. Love only got us so far. 
  I’ve known him since we were six, long before he became the professional soccer star he is now. We’ve weaved in and out of one another’s lives as rivals, teammates, friends, and lovers. Until three years ago, when my life took a hit and I ran back to my small Alaskan town, Lake Starlight, away from anything or anyone that could hurt me. 
  He’s never far from my mind, a constant pining ache in my heart, but I’ve convinced myself I’m better off. But now, my best friend announces her engagement and that means Rylan will return home to stand as best man to her fiancé. 
  He’ll be back in my orbit for three whole weeks… but I can easily keep my distance. Sure, we’ll have to walk arm in arm down the aisle together, he’ll hold me close during the bridal party dance and we’ll stand for pictures next to each other. Nothing I can’t handle. 
  I’m so naïve though because he’s not in town for more than twenty-four hours before he knocks on my door. I should know by now, that the two of us will never be finished business. 
  This second chance romance spans sixteen years of a true love match that proves these two will only ever belong to one another.

An early morning callout to a dog that has been crushed under a tractor brings back shocking memories of that fateful day. Today was always going to be a hard day. Each previous anniversary had been hellish. He expected this one to be no different. Time has not diminished the pain and anguish which have tortured him each and every day for seven long years. Alex's work life is intense. He runs a thriving, state of the art, mixed veterinary practice in Wyagong, country New South Wales, Australia. His days are filled with cattle work, equine stud work, and small animal medicine and surgery. Most of his staff are wonderful. Some are absolutely poisonous. Alex's home life is intense also. His wife, Linda, conspires to make his life hell at every opportunity. She believes that Alex is totally to blame for that hellish day seven years ago... and she will never let him forget... certainly not on it's anniversary. The day has started absurdly. The injured dog did not have to happen on this very day. It's injuries uncannily reflect the injuries of another broken body seven years earlier. The God's are messing with Alex's head. It's been a ridiculous start to the day. He can feel the storm clouds brewing. No doubt Linda will make it a day to remember...
