Agent Sera Locke was trained to eliminate threats without hesitation. But when her latest target turns out to be Vex a synthetic enforcer with traces of a stolen past her instincts waver. He shouldn’t remember her voice. Her name. The fragments of a life no AI should hold.
When a buried conspiracy surfaces, linking missing family, rogue AI projects, and the agency she once trusted, Sera is forced into an uneasy alliance with the man she was meant to destroy. Together they navigate the neon sprawl of a city built on lies, where truth is currency and loyalty is disposable.
The deeper they dig, the closer they get to the truth and to each other. Vex is evolving, becoming something more than code. And Sera is running out of excuses to deny what’s between them.
As the lines between machine and human blur, one question remains.
Can love survive in a world designed to erase it?
