REWIND

In 2077, Elara Whitlock runs a café where customers surrender their devices and spend ninety minutes beyond the reach of the connected world.

No notifications. No artificial companions. Just cassette tapes, coffee and the freedom to be left alone.

Then Owen Kearney walks through the door.

Exhausted by a society that never stops demanding his attention, Owen finds something he needs at Rewind. Elara finds someone worth letting into her carefully protected life.

But an unfamiliar car keeps appearing outside. A customer asks questions he shouldn’t know to ask. The systems Elara avoids seem increasingly interested in her.

As their relationship grows, a discovery threatens everything she believes about her past—and the future she thought she could choose.

A speculative science-fiction romance about identity, privacy and whether love can survive the truth about the person you thought you knew.
