Publisher's summary

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.

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.

Sworn

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!
