About this listen
Tattooed on my skin are the words, “Bow to no man.”
I live by them.
Die by them.
I’ve been on the run since my mother was killed right in front of me, hiding in the gritty underbelly of New Orleans. After a lifetime of being alone, the only thing I crave is revenge.
But I never anticipated Lincoln Asher.
From the moment we meet under a starless night sky, Lincoln looks at me like I’m already his.
He’s scarred and hard all over, but hot as sin when he holds my gaze.
I don’t trust anyone, least of all him.
He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, I just know it, but that doesn’t lessen the temptation of surrender.
I bow to no man, save one.
And he will be my downfall...
Sworn is a dark age gap romance featuring morally grey characters, unhinged villains, and enough spice to light your kindle on fire. Lincoln and Avery's story concludes in Defied, which is now available.

Story
Pretending to date my handsome new housemate was already a bad idea, but then I discover he’s no ordinary guy—he’s a mobster in hiding. And in this story, he’s not the hero, but the wicked villain. Rowan Miller isn’t used to hearing the word “no.” I guess when you’re 6’5, gorgeously tattooed, and sculpted like a Michelangelo masterpiece, women tend to throw themselves at you. But in a small town like Darkwater Hollow, a reputation as a womanizer will catch up with you—and your business—eventually.

Story
It’s Monsters Night, the annual event where the portals to other realms and realities open, and monsters flood the streets to search for their potential mates. And I’m one of the candidates. Why? Because I broke all the rules. I fought back against the elitist system hellbent on enslaving humankind. And f--k if I’m going to let one of these monsters claim me. Let alone three of themOrcus.

Story
The last thing I expected when I married at twenty-two was to remain a virgin at twenty-four. My husband didn’t want me; he married me out of obligation rather than love, and I thought nothing could hurt worse than that. But my solution, marriage counseling, was only the beginning. The first time I saw Shane, I knew I was boarding an express bus to hell because my husband never made me feel a flicker of that spark, and that was before we shook hands.

Story
The first time I saw him, I knew I'd never want another man the way I wanted him. The second time, I drank a bottle of his most expensive cognac, which I'd never be able to afford on my own. And the third time… well, he caught me stealing from him. Stealing from the head of the Irish Mafia wasn't smart. But then I never claimed to be. Now I owed him a debt… a big one. And it couldn't be settled with money, or favors.

Story
All I knew about life was anger and violence. Pain and suffering. Kill or be killed. I was a “fixer” for the Ruin - a syndicate for the Bratva, Cosa Nostra, Cartel, and any other organized crime faction that dealt in the darker, crueler aspects of humanity. I was a free agent who was called upon to do things weaker men didn’t have the stomach for. And when you surround yourself with death for long enough, soon you don’t remember what it felt like to be alive. And then I saw her.

I made a deal with my brother a long time ago to never date his teammates. Technically, Rowan Landry, the hot as hell center for the Chicago Falcons, is no longer my brother’s teammate. Or his best friend. Their college days are long behind them, and they barely talk now. Also, I’m not dating him—we’re just sleeping together. There’s a difference.

Lev Zarkov is a real-life monster. No, correction, he's actually the devil. Except, when I first meet him, he's simply the mysterious, handsome man traveling next to me on a first-class flight to New York. And after being dumped at the altar by my loser fiancé who vanished into thin air the morning of our wedding, when things get flirty between me and the mysterious stranger, I think, why not? Surely, I deserve one night to forget. I mean, where's the harm in a little indulgence, right?

I never planned to give my V-card to a gorgeous stranger I met at a bar. But for once I didn't let myself overthink things. In the few hours we spent together, he managed to push me outside my comfort zone. And I loved every second. I never expected to see him again. Let alone sitting at the head of the boardroom table during my architectural firm's pitch to design his new hotel chain.

The plan was simple. I would take her and hold her ransom to get the money I was owed, but my sweet Bree has her own agenda. She wants to dominate in a world ruled by men, but she needs my help. Her family’s rules state only men can run the business, so she proposes we get married. In turn, she would get the power she craves, and I would get my money and show the world I'm not to be messed with.

Story
The first time I saw him, I knew I'd never want another man the way I wanted him. The second time, I drank a bottle of his most expensive cognac, which I'd never be able to afford on my own. And the third time… well, he caught me stealing from him. Stealing from the head of the Irish Mafia wasn't smart. But then I never claimed to be. Now I owed him a debt… a big one. And it couldn't be settled with money, or favors.

Story
A scorching one-night stand with a stranger was supposed to be my night of adventure to enjoy and move on. I didn't expect that a few weeks later my friend would introduce said stranger as the man walking her down the aisle because he's her godfather and uncle. And I certainly didn't expect him to be a famous football coach who insists I escape with him to his small town lake house for a rendezvous. He may be old enough to be my dad, but the man's charisma is a winning touchdown straight to my lust-filled mind that agrees.

Story
One letter changed my life. One night with him might change my forever. Inheriting a beach house in a small town you've never heard of is less than ideal. Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse. I came to Carrington Cove for one reason: to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business. There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.

Story
I always thought I’d start the apocalypse. Instead I’ve been asked to help end it. How does one stop the end of the world, you might ask? You gotta knock up Lucifer’s vessel before he does. I know, I know. I was surprised too. But let me tell you, if ever there was an incubus made for the job, it’s me. With a name like Sin, you’d think this should have been the easiest task I’d ever been assigned. And you’d be correct. Except said vessel is a beautiful and dangerously powerful succubus in her own right. Oh, and she’s not interested.

Dante Marino’s the definition of beautiful destruction. Everything he touched, he destroyed...including me. We were friends. Then we weren't. He used me. Played me.

Anyone but her. Eva Adams—the entitled, picture-perfect cheer princess. Incapable of empathy, patently manipulative, and absolutely beautiful. I can't afford her drama—I just want to play my last year of hockey without being kicked out of TU, but there she is on my first day back. Crying. In a weak moment, I make her an offer. An agreement I never thought she'd take. Except she surprises me, and now I'm faced with a dilemma. Protect my secrets… or win the girl.

A gripping tale of two people who have been thrown to the wolves and still some how survived.
If you need a dark steamy romance then this is the one for you.
Maria has a way of making her stories come to life.
Her style of writing stories is so very unique.
Laurel, aka Avery Washington, has lived a life you would never wish even upon your worst enemies.
At a young age, she watched her mother be murdered before her eyes by her stepfather, whom she thought cared for them both.
She has been on the run from him ever since.
Lincoln Asher is a cop. He keeps to himself and has a very dark upbringing.
He has secrets of his own, but when he meets Avery, something flips inside of him, and now he can't escape the way she pulls him back to her.
She just may be the death of him.
Stella Hunter and JF Harding bring this book to life.
There voices are pure magic.
I could listen to them all day.
This is the first of two books and must be read in order.

Wow! Maria Luis has outdone herself with this book. Avery is strong yet vulnerable, timid yet bold, naive yet sensual. She is the best kind of wonderful in a complicated walking contradiction. Lincoln personifies hurt, anger, and love with nowhere to go. To say these characters are textured and complex is an understatement. Their chemistry will make your heart speed up and beg for more!! The city itself will draw you in and wrap its spell around you. This story, oh my, this story!! I won’t spoil it, so just read it - you will not regret it! The writing is flawless, as always. Maira Luis took a chance to write a book outside her norm, and the risk was so worth it! It is an amazing book with richness, character, charm, a little darkness, a lot of sizzle, and a whole lot of passion. This book is a diamond in a cubic zirconia world. It did end on an amazing, yet omg, cliffy. Luckily, the next book is out at the end of the month! I cannot recommend this book enough!!
The audio version—holy moly! It’s fantastic. The narrators enhance an already amazing story. I can't recommend it enough!

Sworn Blood Duet Book 1 by Maria Luis
SWORN (Blood Duet Book #1) by Maria Luis
In this story, Maria Luis brings us Sargeant Lincoln Asher and Avery Washington who lives as a fortune teller while hiding out in New Orleans. Both have been damaged by their pasts. She as a 12 year old child listening as her mother was murdered, then knowing the bad guy was after her. He is a dominant cop with lots of secrets. This story has dark twists, explosive chemistry, and the ability to keep you turning pages way into the night. It does cliffhanger into Defied Blood Duet #2. This is a 5 star read. Congrats on weaving a great story Maria!
I really love the dual narrators, Stella Hunter & JF Harding and they did a terrific job.
