Gray doesn’t do emotions. Or commitment. Or romantic clichés. She especially doesn’t do "accidentally falling in love with a broody billionaire tech genius while trying to save the world from his emotionally detached AI experiment." But life has other plans.
After a tech-induced panic attack and a near-death experience involving a malfunctioning neural interface (totally not her fault), Gray finds herself tangled in a corporate conspiracy, a ticking doomsday clock, and a romance she did not sign up for. Enter Gabriel Quinn: emotionally blocked, infuriatingly handsome, and responsible for the tech that almost fried her brain. He's also the one trying to fix it… and maybe fix himself in the process.
As secrets unfold, past traumas resurface, and sarcastic banter turns into stolen glances, the duo is forced into a crucible setting—trapped between ethical failure, family betrayal, and an AI with major abandonment issues. They must overcome internal guilt, external threats, and the deeply inconvenient truth: they might actually be perfect for each other.
But love doesn’t come easy when you’re wired for self-sabotage.
It’s a story about trust, vulnerability, and choosing someone even when everything inside you is screaming run. Gray learns that real strength isn’t in being the smartest person in the room—it’s in letting someone in, even if they might break you
