In an alternate 2025, our world is built on the backs of slaves. Louisa is the daughter of the enemy who’s become my master, and I’m not even allowed to look at her, let alone touch her.
But I’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 secret rooms.
She used to think slaves weren’t people, but I’ve opened her eyes to the horror of her world, and there’s no going back.
But I’m here on a mission to find my sister. And Louisa is 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 new enemies determined to put me in one. They’re plotting to blow our secret right out of the water. In this snake pit, neither of us knows who to trust.
But when they go after Louisa, I’ll prove that even though I’m a slave, she belongs to me in every way that matters — even if it costs me everything I’ve fought for.
NEVER BOUND, book 2 in a dark dystopian forbidden romance series THE UNCHAINED, picks up where Never Broken left off. The books must be read in order. Never Bound ends on a hard cliffhanger and picks up in Never Lost, scheduled for release in summer 2025. Together, all three books form a complete arc with a guaranteed HEA.
