Set in the heart of Boston, Second Breath is a stirring forbidden love romance between two people bound by silence and science. After a life-altering accident, world-renowned pianist Eric loses his hearing and walks away from music forever. But when he meets Alice, a passionate researcher advocating for deaf main character representation through cutting-edge sound-to-light technology, his world is turned upside down.
Alice's invention is inspired by her brother and driven by her belief in deaf representation and inclusion. She invites Eric to test the device, helping him experience music not through hearing—but through light and touch. As they work together, their bond deepens into an inspirational love story that defies expectations and societal limits.
When corporate interests threaten to twist Alice's invention into a tool for profit, Eric is faced with a choice: protect his heart, or fight back by embracing the stage and proving that music and healing can happen without sound. As their lives intertwine, their love becomes a beacon for others—a true second chance romance born from hardship.
Readers searching for romance with disability and emotionally rich tales of love through adversity will be swept away by this powerful narrative. Through Eric and Alice's journey, Second Breath redefines how we experience music, connection, and the meaning of a truly forbidden love romance.
Perfect for fans of deaf main character stories, music and healing novels, and deeply emotional inspirational love stories, this novel delivers on both heart and hope. If you're craving a second chance romance with depth, resilience, and real stakes, this is your next unforgettable read.
