Description
Tethered
By TJ Williams — Paperback, November 18, 2025
One boy. His determined mother. And a starship captain with secrets she’s sworn never to reveal. Among the stars, everything lost can still be found.
Marlowe Rose has spent ten years fighting her vindictive ex, Dominik. But when he kidnaps their young son, she refuses to wait for justice—she goes after him herself. Stowing away on his starship with nothing but desperation and grit, Marlowe plans to confront him head-on. Instead, she finds herself captured by the vessel’s captain, Tanisira Sekmith. Stoic, reserved, and far more perceptive than Marlowe expected, Tanisira becomes an unexpected—and reluctant—ally when she realizes Dominik is pulling everyone’s strings from behind the scenes.
Tanisira never meant to let anyone get close again. After a betrayal that destroyed her life, she vowed to stay invisible, hide her scars, and coast under the radar while piloting a pleasure yacht on unremarkable routes. But finding Marlowe aboard her ship shatters that fragile peace. Marlowe sees her—flaws, shadows, and all—and it forces Tanisira to face the parts of herself she’s tried to bury.
As the two women race across the stars to rescue a child caught in the crossfire, they forge a bond neither was seeking but both desperately need. Marlowe never expected hope to find her in the middle of her darkest journey. And Tanisira never believed she deserved happiness—until she faced losing the boy with bright green eyes and the fierce, magnetic mother fighting to get him back.
A sweeping, emotional sci-fi romance filled with tension, resilience, and slow-burn longing, Tethered is perfect for readers who crave found family, starship intrigue, and love powerful enough to cross galaxies.
