Riya Murthy makes mistakes. Some small. Most catastrophic.
And the worst ones always involve the man she never escaped.
The Never Not Broken is a dark, high-stakes romantic suspense novel set in a world of billionaire dynasties, international crime, and obsession that refuses to die. Perfect for readers who love dark romance, interracial romance, and contemporary romantic thrillers featuring morally complex characters and intense power dynamics.
Riya is a brilliant, sharp-tongued lawyer trying to rebuild her life when she's pulled back into the orbit of Liam Senos, heir to a global shipping empire drenched in luxury, corruption, and blood. Five years ago, their love burned too bright to survive. Now, defending his family's empire forces Riya to confront the past she buried and the man who never stopped claiming her.
Liam doesn't believe in letting go. His devotion is obsessive, consuming, and absolute. He doesn't care about her fiance or his own. He barely cares about the empire collapsing around them. He only cares about Riya - and what belongs to him.
As Riya is drawn deeper into a web of surveillance, blackmail, and international trafficking, desire collides with danger. When a stranger from her past reappears, the present fractures and the story shifts into the choices that first bound her to love, power, and survival.
Set across the snow-capped haciendas of Whistler, the painted streets of Barcelona, and the azure waters of Porto Helios, The Never Not Broken delivers:
A strong female protagonist
A morally grey billionaire hero
Interracial romance and global diaspora representation
Dark romantic suspense with obsession, danger, and power imbalance

For fans of the most loved book boyfriends, dark billionaire romances, enemies-to-lovers tension, obsessive love stories, and romantic thrillers with international intrigue, this is the first book in a gripping contemporary romance duology.
When desire lures, and power hunts, survival is the only escape.
