We're all connected in one way or another. Dani Stephenson's world is shattered when her loving husband, Joel, tragically dies. Now a young widow, she must pick up the pieces of her life. As Dani goes back through her and Joel's brief marriage--and even quicker coupling--she must face the realization that she didn't truly know the person she married. Through it all, Dani leans on Joel's older brother, Nathan, the only other person who knows what this loss feels like. Nathan has always been there when Dani needed him, and the aftermath of his brother's death is no exception. As their friendship grows, so do Nathan's feelings for Dani. But he's keeping a secret of his own--one that would cause Dani to lose all trust in him. Left feeling conflicted, he begs the question: Could she ever really be with her husband's brother? Tethered pushes the boundaries of loss and shows there is no right way to grieve.
