Tethered souls

Serena Hassanov believed in soul ties. She also believed some things were too deep to name - like the ache that started the day she met Victory Blackwell.

They went to the same university. Never spoke. Until one introduction - one spark - led to a friendship that turned into everything. For years, Serena and Vee were inseparable: soft touches, lingering glances, and a love so quiet it screamed. But when timing failed them, they broke apart.

Years later, Serena is married with children. Vee is a wildly successful, unapologetically masculine woman who never forgot the girl with the honey-toned skin and impossible eyes. When their paths cross again, old feelings resurface - louder, sharper, harder to bury.

But how do you love someone who already belongs to someone else?
How do you ignore a soul that still calls your name?

A slow-burn, emotionally charged story of friendship, heartbreak, longing, and rediscovery.
For every young adult who's ever loved in silence, lost too soon, and hoped for a second chance.
