Tethered Feather
Kara Collins is a master manipulator.
For years she built walls around her heart after her mother’s family vanished and her father abandoned her.
Now an adult, she plays games with strangers to avoid genuine connections. That is until she has a chance encounter with the enigmatic Valerio Kavalenko at New Gold Mountain. Val refuses to play games and cracks her persona, leading her to confront her damaged past and uncover family secrets.
With her friend Michael growing suspicious of Val and therapy sessions revealing painful truths, Kara stands at a crossroads. In a world where the truth is dangerous and trust is rare, Kara must decide if she can break free from the shadows of her past.
Can she truly change the patterns established in childhood?
Or will the web of secrets surrounding her family ultimately prove inescapable?
Choice was always an option, at least Kara thought it was.
Never feel …
Never tell …
Never trust …
