Tethered Hearts

Adrian Bennett, a 30-year-old widowed single father, is forced into a second marriage to fulfill his dying grandmother's last wish. While Adrian is a soft and loving father to his young daughter, Emily, he is tough, angry, and resentful toward the outside world, particularly toward his new wife, Sophia. He initially despises her, seeing their marriage as a forced duty rather than a union of love.

Sophia Harper, a 22-year-old waitress burdened by the cruelty of her uncle's family, finds herself trapped in a marriage she never sought but couldn't refuse. As she adjusts to the harsh realities of her new life, she must navigate Adrian's anger and emotional walls while trying to heal the wounds of her own past.
