Books One and Two of the "Cyborg" series, in one place.
Generation Automation is upon us. The craving to own the latest and greatest technology in the name of convenience has created a world where man and machine live alongside one another in an unsteady peace. Humans still rule for now. However, an underground movement has begun that will change everything.
For every arising enemy against humanity, a countermeasure is born--
Alexia is one of the few humans left who'd rather not have an android hanging over her shoulder all day. Unfortunately, when her job lands her on a list of people targeted by terrorists, she's assigned a Machine Industry Leading Edge Sentinel, or “Miles,” for protection. Per Miles programming, he shouldn't be able to override Alexia's commands. However, he defies her at every turn. The lines between reality and fantasy blur as Alexia's attraction for the mysterious android grows. Unfortunately, when she goes on a mission to seek the truth, what she learns might get her killed.
A world on edge...
The “Cyborg” team has kept one eye glued to the unrest inside the A.I. community for some time. Each member understands the ramifications of a revolt. If war is declared, they could find themselves on the opposite side of the law. One tiny detail changes Miles’ stance. Solving the case he’s worked since meeting Alexia could be the deciding factor. Left with no other choice, Miles orders his second in command to move to plan ‘B’—Dr. Kiston Beck.
A woman caught in the middle...
Kiston has stood with the Androids since her teenage years. Her inside knowledge of Cryo-Zone—an all-droid community—could mean the difference between a war lost or won. Convincing her to go against all she believes to be right is another matter.
Kiston has no idea what the Cybernetics Agency thinks she possesses. There hasn’t been a human alive who cared to hear her opinion in years. The one detail she’s absolutely sure about is that they sent the wrong team member if they hoped to seduce the information from her.
Cyborg Two is every woman’s dream. His wide shoulders, alpha ways and smoldering glances leave her breathless. Unfortunately, his biggest flaw is one too many for Kiston. He believes she’s crazy.
But is it too late?
After a botched kidnapping, a concussion and near-death experience, can Miles and his team still convince Kiston to join them, or will their brand of friendship end up destroying the world?
Excerpt . . .
“I scare you.” He didn’t look at her as he made the observation. It made it easier to lie.
“No.”
He turned in her direction. Her breath caught in her throat. Sex with him had been a mistake. He was twice as much of everything than he was the day before and he’d already been too much. “We will see Dr. Khan today.”
That distracted her. With a loud groan, Alexia pulled the comforter over her head. She hated Lucas Khan. He spit when he talked and she always caught him staring at her ass. Something about him gave her the creeps. Unfortunately, he was also the only robotics specialist in town. It wasn’t a huge inconvenience to stop by his office since they worked in the same building. She did need to drop off a few finished pieces and pick up a new batch of orders, but she really didn’t want to go.
Miles pulled the cover away from her face. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he leaned over her, forcing her to face him. “You were frightened of me last night. In light of your reaction, I must insist you check with Dr. Khan to ease your mind.”
“I wasn’t scared of you.” Alexia knew she sounded the same as a petulant child. She didn’t care. He traced her bottom lip with his thumb. His lids lowered as his gaze followed the motion.
“He will reassure you I am not malfunctioning. You will feel better.”
Naturally, she gave in. It wasn’t as if she could stand against such manipulation. “Fine. Damn it,” Alexia cursed, kicking free of the bed linens. “We’ll go see the freaking pervy doctor.” If she seemed unhappy about it, then he’d just have to deal with it.
An hour later, as she flushed red, stammering, and attempting to explain the problem, Miles dealing with her unhappiness did not seem anywhere near a big enough punishment.
