Never Tear Us Apart

Darkly sexy, emotional and forbidden, a woman unwittingly falls in love with the son of her abductor. The beginning of a two-book contemporary romance series by New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy.

Katie Watts was almost thirteen when she was kidnapped at an amusement park. Held captive for days, she’s finally rescued by her captor’s teenage son, Will, who’s been subjected to his father’s mental and physical abuse for years. In the aftermath, Katie was sent into seclusion with her family, and Will was shipped off to one foster home after another, completely disappearing from her life.

Fast forward to present day and Katherine is ready to tell her story on prime-time news. She believes talking about it will help purge all the self-hatred and devastation once and for all. But she is wrong.

Will watches Katie’s interview on TV and is inexplicably drawn to her. Her vulnerability, the quiver in her voice as she tells her story—a story he shares with her that no one else understands—makes him ache to protect her once again. He starts to follow her. Watch over her. Ensure she’s safe. Banish all the horrible memories that still linger within. Because now that he’s found her again, there’s no way in hell he’s going to lose her a second time.
