Untethered

Ten years ago, Bobbie Lynn Brien and Dylin Montgomery were the definition of almost. Almost in love. Almost brave enough. Almost ready for each other. Life pulled them in opposite directions—Bobbie into a storm of survival, mistakes, and secrets she still carries like bruises beneath her skin… and Dylin into the quiet steadiness of coaching high-school football and raising his eight-year-old son. They never touched that night they met, and somehow that decision saved them. Because now, a decade later, fate throws them back together in the most ordinary way: a neighborhood feed, a headline, a picture of the man she once dreamed into her bones. And the moment Bobbie sees him again, everything shifts. Dylin remembers her too—every spark, every laugh, every almost. But the woman in front of him now is older, softer, fiercely protective of the little boy who changed her world… and still convinced she's unworthy of the tenderness he offers so easily. Lucky for Bobbie, she's not facing any of this alone. She has Robin—her unpredictable, glitter-explosion of a best friend who barges into every emotional moment armed with candy, opinions, and the kind of loyalty that looks like chaos to everyone except Bobbie Lynn. Robin won't let her run this time. Even when her timing is terrible. Especially when her timing is terrible. As Bobbie and Dylin relearn each other, Bobbie must decide whether she can face the past she's been outrunning and still choose the kind of love that waits for her. The kind that sees her as a beginning, not a mistake. Tender, sexy, funny, emotional, and fiercely hopeful, Untethered is a story of two people who grew up separately, survived separately… and finally get the chance to choose each other for real. Some love stories burn out. This one waited ten years to begin.
