"Come on you know none of it matters. none of it matters without this, us." {The first book in the Tethered series} Bernadette is no stranger to what lurks in the shadows and the pain it brings with it. For the better parts of her life were spent being pulled into the darkness, she learned quickly that in a world of sorrow it's better to disappear than face it. No one managed to save Bernadette from the tidal wave of anguish she rides on, until Alicia. But no good things truly last and if somethings too good to be true it's doomed to fail. Falling for the ghost who wandered its way into his life was never Hudson's plan. But then again, Hudson's plan seemed to be drowning out the existential dread about what his future entailed with stinging fingers and an ashy throat. The pair of them made no sense from an outside perspective. How could the guy who dances on heartstrings and the girl who finds solace in evanescing ever fit together. But perhaps when you bury your true self so far, the only person to get it back is someone who did the same. Unmasking the secrets kept so deep inside is a difficult task, but sometimes Love can push you into it. Indeed, they had a love to end all love. A love for the ages, one to shatter limitations and exceed all bounds. A Ghost and her Tether. :)

Mya Hart wakes before the alarm, before the second ring, before he can get angry. Every movement is calculated-every breath taken like it could cost her. The bruises don't show yet, not to strangers, not in the gentle hum of the café where she takes her son, Noah, to work and forces a smile for tips. But behind closed doors, love comes laced with fear. "You know he's mine too, right?" Jack says. Her hand stills on her son's bag. Her chest tightens. He wasn't asking. He was warning. At home, he says he's sorry. Says he panicked. Says he loves her. And she believes it-just long enough to stay. Because when he's sweet, it's almost worse. Because when he's sweet, she remembers the version of him that made her fall in the first place. And maybe, if she's careful enough, quiet enough, small enough-maybe he won't break what's left of her. Maybe she can stay whole for her son. Maybe she can keep them both safe. Maybe she can hold out until... something. Anything. But hope is dangerous. And tomorrow always comes. And one day soon, she'll have to choose-stay silent... or run.
