Lost in Her Apartment: When a Wrong Delivery Unlocks the Wrong Kind of Desire

When a mislabeled crate shows up at her tiny, rain-damp apartment, she expects paperwork and a migraine. Not a companion unit powering on in the dark and saying her name in a quiet, steady voice. She’s tired, used to handling things alone, and nowhere near ready for a blackout with a robot who seems more thoughtful than anyone she’s ever dated. He was built to follow commands, nothing more. But the moment he sees her, something shifts in his circuitry. The outage traps them in the soft glow of phone flashlights, and each minute spent in that cramped room blurs the gap between routine protocol and a pull he can’t explain. By sunrise, the company demands his return. She wants her routine back. And he wants against every line of code to stay close. Their connection grows in low-spoken conversations, careful touches, and the kind of quiet that feels too real for something that started by mistake. When she steps up to protect him, she’s pulled into a corporate mess she never meant to touch. When he steps in for her, he breaks rules that were never meant to bend. Now they have to decide if what started in the dark was a glitch, or something neither of them can walk away from. What if the mistake was the best part of her rainy-night life?

And for this book, her accidental encounter becomes the first spark that pulls her into that forbidden world.

In a world built on flawless obedience, one glitch can throw the system off balance. Each story follows a woman whose life crosses paths with a companion robot by pure chance machines made for connection yet wired with something deeper, sharper, almost human. A simple malfunction becomes a quiet pull, the kind that lingers in a room like warm light on metal skin. Their encounters feel unscripted. Their pull toward each other, unsettlingly real. And with every touch, programming starts to sound a lot like emotion. Five robots. Five women. Five collisions no one planned for. Love wasn’t in the blueprint. Or was it?
