Louisa
My family name is an empire. I was destined for a fortune built on the bloodied backs of slaves.
But I’m one failed college course away from losing it all.
The only one who can help me is my father’s newest purchase: the golden-haired slave with eyes too sharp for hard labor, with hands that should be discovering universes, not locked in shackles. The one who just whispered something shocking as he passed me with the wheelbarrow.
The one I know is dangerous.
His words don’t matter. He’s here to clean gutters, not to teach me, not to save me, and definitely not to make me spiral with every stolen glance.
We’re forbidden. He shouldn’t look at me. He’s not allowed to touch me.
And I won’t let him. Not my hand, not my heart, not anything …

A number. Not a name. That’s all I’ve ever been to them. I’ve been whipped, chained, beaten, and brutalized by everyone who’s ever owned me.
But never broken.
And now I’ve clawed and schemed my way through pain and grief to get to this manicured wasteland, find my sister, and kill those who stole her away. So what if one of them is my new master?
And If I have to use his spoiled brat daughter to do it, fine. I’ve spent my whole life playing their game, but this time, she’ll be a pawn in mine.
Except, okay, Louisa’s not spoiled. She’s brave, she’s learning, and she’s making me want things I’m not allowed to want. Things I won’t allow myself to want.
They stole everything else from me. I’ll never give my heart, too.
But here, just one broken rule can kill you, so we might just have to shatter all of them.
Starting with the ones we made for ourselves.
Perfect for fans of STILL BEATING, MANACLED, and BAD BOYS DON’T DIE, Never Broken is your first taste of an epic, twisty, us-against-the-world spicy forbidden romance trilogy set in a chilling dystopia a little too much like ours. Although the world is dark and the themes potentially triggering, the romance isn’t. This book ends with an HFN and a cliffhanger that will make you gasp. And with Never Bound and Never Lost, you get a complete arc with a guaranteed HEA worth waiting for.
“I’m ordering you to get me a coffee.”
“Can’t. I’m busy.”
“Busy?” That word didn’t seem to be in a slave’s vocabulary. “Doing what?” I demanded.
“I’ll give you a hint — my hands are wet.”
“With water?”
He laughed. A warm, genuine laugh, like a real person, and for some reason, an equally warm, strange thrill shot through my body. What the hell was going on with this guy — no, not guy. Slave. Slave. “Sure. If that makes you more comfortable.”
“You know what would make me comfortable?”
“Let me guess. A good f —“
“Don’t you dare.”
“Foamy espresso. Why, what did you think I was going to say?”
