NEVER TEAR US APART is the first novel in Monica Murphy’s new darkly sexy contemporary series that kicks off an emotionally powerful two-part tale of forbidden love, coming January 5th, 2016.
A long time ago, when I was fifteen and a completely different person, I saved a girl’s life. I spent only a handful of hours with her, but somehow, we connected—and I’ve never been the same. No one understands what we went through. No one knows what it’s like to be us. We survived, yet I don’t feel like I’m really living—until now. Eight years later, I find her. I want to make her mine. I need to make her mine. But she’ll hate me forever when she finds out who I really am.

Advance praise for Never Tear Us Apart
“A powerful story that left me raw, yet hopeful.”
— USA Today bestselling author K. A. Tucker
“All the best parts of romance and betrayal...I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.”
—New York Times bestselling author Jay Crownover
It takes a village is the old saying and boy, is it true. I don’t know where I’d be without my village. So a big thank you to the following: Sarah Hansen from Okay Creations for the gorgeous covers, Autumn Hull for handling all of my publicity and editing needs (and having to deal with my almost daily texts), to Dana Waganer for your thorough proofreading, Kati Rodriguez for creating the most beautiful quote graphics ever, for putting together my newsletter and for putting up with me, and to Katy Evans for being there when I need you (I can’t do this without you wifey!).
To the bloggers, reviewers, readers: I can’t do this writing thing without you. Thank you for your support, your sweet words, your criticisms, your everything. I mean it. This is my dream job and that you continue to buy my books means the world to me.
To the ladies from Sex and the City: Who would’ve thought all those years ago when I religiously watched you every Sunday night on HBO, that I would end up using one of my all time favorite shows almost as a secondary character in my book? Thanks to YouTube for having all those memorable clips so readily available.
To my husband and children: Thanks for putting up with me when I work all the damn time. I love you.
I never thought I could love the other boys as much as I loved Shep but Tristan did it. I love him most of all. I hope you do too.
