She was sunshine.
She was storm.
And fate tied them together.
When 20-year-old Clara Hargreaves loses her parents, she also loses the only home she's ever known - until her parents' best friend steps in to honor a long-forgotten promise.
Now Clara is arranged to marry Miku Nakahara - a cold, distant 35-year-old CEO who wants nothing to do with love, let alone marriage.
But Clara is all softness. A golden retriever in human form. Clingy, charming, full of sunshine - and determined to melt the ice around Miku's heart.
Miku doesn't want to love again. Not after what happened. But jealousy creeps in. Emotions get messy. And no matter how much she denies it... her heart knows Clara is different.
From fake smiles to real kisses.
From strangers to soulmates.
This is not just an arranged marriage.
This is Tethered Hearts.

And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in.
