What I Made of You

Dr. Vera Stein has spent three years building the perfect subject - a synthetic man grown in her Edinburgh lab from human tissue, neural scaffolding, and years of grief she has never admitted to. She designed him to prove a hypothesis. She did not design him to ask questions. Aiden wakes on a Tuesday. His first word is why. What follows is a love story told in increments: a woman learning to be known, and a man discovering what it means to want something beyond the walls of a laboratory.
But Vera's mentor has filed an ethics complaint, a journalist is asking the right questions, and the institution that funded her work is preparing to take ownership of what she made. She built him to be flawless. She never expected him to become the person who saves her. What I Made of You is a standalone dark romance reimagining of Frankenstein. For readers of The House in the Cerulean Sea, Boyfriend Material, and A Psalm for the Wild-Built.
