Lena never meant to fall for him.
It started behind a screen — late nights, shared silences, a voice that felt steadier than anything in her real life. Maddox was careful. Quiet. Safe.
Until he wasn't just Maddox anymore.
Jace lives in a world Lena doesn't belong to — one built on noise, blurred boundaries, and choices that can't be undone. He knows exactly how dangerous he is. He also knows that Lena is the one thing he could lose.
The closer they grow, the more impossible it becomes to stay untouched.
Because Lena believes love means staying.
And Jace believes love means letting go.
Never Us is a slow-burn, emotionally intense story about connection, fear, and the kind of love that hurts because it's real.
It's about protecting someone the wrong way — and learning that sometimes, the hardest choice is not to stay, but to walk away.
