Margaret A. Wren

When a late-night rideshare shift ends in a near-fatal crash, Lena Torres thinks the worst is behind her. Then the man who drags her from the wreck isn’t a man at all. ARES an unregistered rescue unit with no active file and no memory of previous orders shouldn’t exist outside a sealed lab. He definitely shouldn’t know fear, or offer comfort the way he does.

But someone wants him wiped out and Lena silenced.

Forced into hiding in a city that treats rogue machines like loaded weapons, Lena and ARES slip through alleys and half-built workshops. She shows him the grit and noise of real freedom. He shows her a kind of safety she hasn’t felt in years. Their connection grows in quiet moments: a shared takeout container on a workbench, the whir of tools during repairs, the steady presence of someone who never looks away.

Danger closes in fast. Whoever created ARES is hunting him, and every move Lena makes to protect him drags them deeper into a maze of corporate lies and cold ambition. If he’s exposed, she’ll lose him. If she walks away, she loses herself.

As the line between machine and man blurs, one truth won’t stay buried.

What do you do when the one person you shouldn’t love is the only one who makes you feel alive?

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?
