Never Gone: Never Gone Series, Book 1

by Mindy M. Mather, Chelsea Clairmont (Narrator)

Michaela never imagined her eighteenth birthday would come with a wedding announcement. Her parents have chosen her her childhood friend Walter. College? Dreams? Gone.

Walter isn’t thrilled about the marriage, and neither is Landon—Michaela’s first love from the other side of town—or Windi, who is hopelessly in love with Walter. Yet Walter agrees to the union to appease his family.

As the walls close in, Michaela realizes her only role may be to be Walter’s obedient, supportive wife, managing his family’s law firm and strengthening the ties between their families.

But Michaela refuses to go quietly… and neither do Windi or Landon. Hearts will be tested, loyalties challenged, and passions ignited in a story where love refuses to be silenced.

Who will win in a fight this duty or desire?
