Tied Together Torn By Time

At twenty-five, Alexa Liora believes grief should have finished hollowing her out by now. Instead, it leaves her stranded between who she was before her mother died and who she's expected to become afterward. Returning to the house she grew up in means reopening rooms she's avoided for years, filled with memories she doesn't know how to carry.

And then there is Nisha Woods.

Thirty-five. Composed. Devastatingly quiet.
The woman her mother loved. The woman Alexa was never supposed to look at twice.

They were never close before-only polite, distant, orbiting the same life without touching. But loss has a way of collapsing distance. Shared silences stretch too long. Conversations drift into places they shouldn't.

Familiarity begins to feel dangerous.

Nisha is still wearing her ring. Still loyal to a ghost.

Alexa is old enough to know desire doesn't ask permission-and young enough to hate herself for feeling it.
What begins as grief turns into recognition.

What should remain unspoken starts to breathe between them. Loving Nisha feels like betrayal. Wanting her feels like erasure. And yet, walking away feels like another kind of death.

Tied Together Torn By Time is a forbidden WLW age-gap romance about loss, restraint, and the terrifying question of whether love can be both wrong and inevitable-and what it costs to choose it anyway.
