It started with spilled coffee and a stare that lingered too long.
She was late for work. He was watching her like she was already his.
In a city full of strangers, one man begins to appear everywhere she goes-knowing too much, asking too little, and making promises laced with danger. What should've been a warning feels like gravity. He's not just drawn to her-he's obsessed.
But obsession doesn't always come with a knife. Sometimes it comes with flowers. With whispered secrets. With the kind of love that wraps itself around your ribs and never lets go.
And the scariest part?
She doesn't want it to.
Tethered is a haunting, slow-burn dark romance told from the eyes of a woman unraveling under the weight of desire, dread, and devotion.
