New North America, 2025
My family name is an empire. I was destined for a fortune built on the bloodied backs of slaves.
But I’m one failed university 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.
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.
Never Broken is your first taste of an epic, twisty, us-against-the-world 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 as dark. 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 HEA worth waiting for.
In our world, we aren’t even allowed to look at each other, let alone touch.
But we’ve already done way more than that. By day, they make me scrub floors and weed the garden. By night, I ignite her in dark basements and hidden bowers.
Slaves aren’t people? Man, fuck that. Literally. I’ve opened her eyes to the horror of her world, and there’s no going back.
But I’m on a mission to find my sister — not fall for my master’s daughter. And she’s about to discover that when I charmed my way into her bed, it wasn’t just because I wanted her. It was because I wanted something from her.
But now? I do want her. Forever, preferably. But the world thinks I belong in a cage, and I’ve got enemies determined to put me in one. They’re plotting to blow our secret right out of the water.
And when they go after Louisa, I’ll have to prove that even though I’m a slave, she belongs to me in every way that matters.
WARNING: Never Bound ends on a hard cliffhanger and picks up in Never Lost, complete and scheduled for release in spring 2025. Together, all three books form a complete arc with a guaranteed HEA.
We — that is, me and the nameless, gifted slave I fell for right under Daddy’s nose — always knew we were on borrowed time.
Now, we’ve been ripped apart, the enemies who took his sister are closing in, and new and old friends are in peril.
It’s not just our secrets at stake anymore. The world has figured out that the two of us together are too dangerous to live.
But, hey, our forbidden love started over a chemistry book. So maybe it’s time to figure out the formula to burn that world to the ground.
The third book in The Unchained series is complete and scheduled for release in mid-2025. Together, all three books form a complete arc with a guaranteed HEA.
