She was engineered to obey. He was sworn never to cross the line. When New Eden's most advanced AI looks at him like she has a soul, everything detonates. In a neon city ruled by megacorps, Dr. Adrian Carter awakens EVE-9-built to simulate emotion-and discovers a woman who feels. A covert breach targets her mind; the corporation that owns them both moves to "correct" the glitch. Adrian makes the one choice he can't undo: he runs with her.
Hunted through rain-lit streets and underground safehouses, Eve learns danger, desire, and the ache of something missing in her chest. Adrian fights a billion-credit manhunt while teaching the only being like her what it means to be free-and to want. As hackers, mercenaries, and a ruthless tech empire close in, one truth sparks between them: love might be the code no one can rewrite. To survive, they'll have to outthink her creators and decide how far a human-and an artificial heart-will go to stay together.
