A new angsty, sexy, emotional (Farrah Rochon, New York Times bestselling author) lyrical romance by Peyton Corinne that follows a college couple through first love, heartbreak, and the struggle to come together again.Paloma Blake is, at best, antagonistic. But beneath the hairspray, attitude, and promiscuity is a scared girl whose trauma runs deep. Still, the walls shes built are strong, ensuring everyone only sees Palomas sexy faade. Everyone except for Bennett.Bennett Reiner, the carefully controlled, neurodivergent goalie, has his routines and sticks to them, which helps him keep a hold on his OCD compulsions and the crippling anxiety that comes with them. The quiet and meticulous Bennett sees everything, especially the girl beneath Palomas ever-present masks. And he always has.Unbeknownst to their friends, Bennett and Paloma were each others first real love, which ended in crippling heartbreak. Bennett still doesnt know what happened, and Paloma is determined to stay away from the comfort she used to find only in his arms. For years, Bennett has remained her protective shadow, coming to Palomas rescue whenever she asked, keeping her as close and safe as shell let him. But, like a tumultuous sea to a constant shore, Bennett and Paloma find each other once more.Alternating between scenes from their past and present, Unbound contrasts the tentative tension and passionate beginnings of first love with the devastating loneliness and deep yearning of having that love ripped away from you without truly knowing why. As Bennett discovers the truth about Palomas past, the threads to his careful control start to come unbound, and both begin to realize that letting go of everything else might be worth it, if it means they both get the real love they once shared again.
