Synopsis
Kane Archer hasn’t always been tormented; he hasn’t always hated himself or been full of rage. He hasn’t always lived his life with an overpowering sense of guilt that threatens to destroy him.
There was a time when his life was different. He was optimistic; he smiled and laughed; he loved passionately; he had it all.
Kane was content—until the unthinkable took it all away.
Two and a half years later and still reeling from his fiancée’s death, Kane returns to the one place he vowed he’d never visit again—Camden—with the promise to find the men who killed her and bring them to justice, regardless of the cost.
Emotionally numb, stricken by guilt, and haunted by the events preceding Aimee’s death, the last thing Kane wanted was to meet someone he connected with; someone who made him feel again.
As Kane gets closer to those responsible for Aimee’s death, he is thrown a curveball when he discovers a secret so devastating it rocks his world and threatens to destroy his chance at happiness.
Whitney Jareau packed up her life when tragedy struck her family, leaving everything behind. Finally free from the persistent and domineering family that insisted she do the one thing she couldn’t, Whitney found peace in Camden.
Two years later, her family wants her to come home and will stop at nothing to get her there. Wearing her heart on her sleeve for Kane Archer, a man so gorgeous it hurts to see the pain he carries, Whitney fights her family and refuses to return home to carry out their wishes.
Can Whitney stay strong without giving in to the demands of her family?
Can Kane let go of the past and move forward with the woman who brought him back to life?
Or, will he walk away from her and carry the burden of UNBEARABLE GUILT

Review
Kane Archer. Tortured Hero. Trapped in darkness. Consumed with guilt and pain. Thirsting for revenge.
Can anyone help him find his way out of the darkness and into the light, or is Kane destined to stay in the past forever?
Unbearable Guilt is the second book in Emma Grayson’s Breathe Again Series. Readers are introduced to Kane Archer in book one when he saves Lexie’s life, but he’s a rather mysterious man. When Book 2 begins, we get a firsthand account of what happened to the love of his life and the burden he carries due to those events. Close to two years after Aimee’s death, Kane returns to Camden to feel closer to her and to plan his revenge on those who took her away from him. Payback is the only thing on his mind, and he’ll do whatever it takes to make sure that judgment days comes to those who took his light away.
Camden residents are not very welcoming to Kane; most hold him responsible for Aimee’s death and want nothing to do with him; even his ex best-friend, Lukas, blames Kane for what happened to Aimee and refuses to hear his side of the story. But one person sees beyond his tough exterior and town gossip…one person tries to save Kane from himself even when he pushes her away and treats her poorly. Whitney Jareau wants to save Kane and maybe even save herself in the process.
Whitney is a kickass heroine. She doesn’t need or want anyone to take care of her. She’s not the ditzy girl who Kane thinks she is…she’s so much more than that. She’s an independent woman who understands how much a loved one’s death can affect someone because she’s lived through that hell herself. Whitney fled to Camden to get herself out of a situation she wants no part in back home, but regardless of how much she’s fighting to live on her own and not give in to the demands that have been placed on her, those pressures are slowly closing in on her.
Emma Grayson does a great job of portraying the guilt and torment that Kane feels. He blames himself for Aimee’s death, and it consumes him 24 hours a day. He is haunted by her memories as well as other incidences that helped to seal both of their fates. Kane’s an asshole most of the time…he speaks without thinking and treats people like shit because he doesn’t know how to handle all of the emotions that torment him. Kane doesn’t know how to move on from what happened close to two years ago; he almost wears it like armor so that he doesn’t have to get close to anyone else or risk losing another person he cares about. What Kane didn’t factor in, though, is how unwilling Whitney is to let him just simply drift back into the darkness once she’s brought him a few steps into the light.
Unbearable Guilt is an intense read; readers are trying to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together as Kane and his crew attempt to take down the man/men responsible for Aimee’s death, and when it all comes together at the end, everyone involved will never be the same. The supporting characters added to the text immensely. The way that Kane’s team has his back no matter what says a lot about the type of man Kane is. I hope to see more of them as the series continues. Readers definitely want to snatch this series up. Each book has a fantastic mix of suspense, angst, romance, and hot alpha males whose willingness to protect those they love make them even hotter.
