New North America, 2025 Louisa I was destined for a fortune built on the backs of slaves, but now I'm one failed university course away from losing it all. Only my father's newest purchase can help: the slave with eyes too sharp and hands too deft for hard labor. The one who just whispered something shocking in my ear when he passed with the wheelbarrow. But his words don't matter. We're forbidden. He's here to clean gutters, not to teach me, not to look at me, and definitely not to touch me. And I won't let him. Not my hand, not my heart, not anything¿773496S6 A number. Not a name. That's all I am to them. Whipped, chained, beaten, brutalized - but never broken. They stole my sister, and I've schemed my way through pain and grief to make my enemy my new master. I'll kill him and find her. And if I have to use his spoiled daughter to do it, fine. I've spent my life playing their game-now she'll play mine. Except she's not spoiled. She's brave, she's learning, and she's making me want things. Things I can't have. They stole everything 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, BAD BOYS DON'T DIE, and MANACLED, NEVER BROKEN is your first taste of an epic, twisty, suspenseful us-against-the-world forbidden romance trilogy featuring morally gray characters and 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 a happy for now and a cliffhanger that will make you gasp. And with NEVER BOUND and NEVER LOST, you get a complete arc with a guaranteed happily ever after worth waiting for.
