Mira Santos can see the glowing threads that bind every human heart—and she's built her career on cutting them when they cause pain.
As a licensed bond-cutter, Mira helps clients sever toxic relationships with surgical precision, maintaining clinical detachment from the emotional chaos that destroys lives. She's spent fifteen years perfecting the art of disconnection, keeping her own bonds to a minimum. But when Stephen Sullivan walks into her office with a bond network so complex it defies everything she knows about human connection, Mira faces an impossible choice.
Stephen's emotional threads don't just connect him to others—they've become the foundation of who he is. Cutting his painful bond to his ex-lover could destroy his entire emotional framework, leaving him hollow and disconnected forever. Yet leaving it intact means condemning him to endless suffering.
As Mira delves deeper into Stephen's case, she discovers that some bonds aren't meant to be severed—they're meant to transform us. But embracing this truth means confronting the mysterious silver thread she's spent years ignoring, a connection that could either complete her understanding of love or shatter the professional walls she's built around her heart.
Perfect for readers who loved The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and The Ten Thousand Doors of January, this spellbinding urban fantasy explores the hidden architecture of human connection and the courage required to love fully.
Some connections are meant to heal us, not hurt us—but first we must have the courage to see them clearly.
