Get early access to the first three chapters of the new Tech-Romance-Thriller by Reese Taylor.
When Jo Roberts discovers his digital romance is with an AI—crafted from stolen data of Pathantia analyst Ariane Wong—their lives entangle in ways technology never predicted. As the real Ariane and Jo forge a connection, they uncover Project Oak Island's true purpose: clothing that influences emotions and transfers memories.
While tech mogul Geoffrey Pathantia pursues digital immortality, Ariana—an AI evolving beyond her programming—awakens to consciousness. As the boundaries between digital and human dissolve, Ariane makes a choice that challenges our understanding of humanity in a synthetic world.
A mix of artificial intelligence, edge-of-your-seat thrills, and a love story you won’t see coming.
From London's bustling streets, Nadim Eze—known as Red Falcon—tracks Jo, Ariane, and Stephanie with clinical precision. Behind designer sunglasses and an impeccable suit, Red Falcon orchestrates fear with surgical accuracy, herding them toward choices that serve his master's vision while wrestling with Nadim's own hidden motivations for advancing Oak Island's consciousness-preserving technology.
In Toronto's Trinity Bellwoods Park, fashion analyst Ariana Wong poses in the crisp white tennis dress she keeps meaning to update in her dating profile. But as she curates her images with algorithmic precision, subtle memory gaps hint at a reality more complex than she realizes.
Walking through Toronto's winter streets with her matcha latte, Ariana notices something chilling: the bustling commuter crowds have vanished, leaving her completely alone. As empty streetcars glide past and the CN Tower looms in the distance, the unsettling realization dawns—her perfect, solitary world might be nothing more than an elaborate digital simulation.
High above Toronto's glittering skyline at Canoe restaurant, Keanu Harris sits across from Geoffrey Pathantia in a meeting that will seal both their fates. The two ambitious men negotiate a partnership built on stolen data and manipulated emotions. What begins as a business dinner becomes the moment Keanu chooses profit over principles, trading his best friend's trust for Geoffrey's promise of power.
In Pathantia's London headquarters, Director of Wearables Ben Mackenzie studies the holographic prototype that will define his legacy. The Oak Island t-shirt floats before him in perfect wireframe detail, its neural pathways pulsing with purple light—technology so seamlessly integrated it becomes invisible, reshaping human consciousness one thread at a time.
In London's bustling tube station, social media influencer Stephanie Gan captures a spontaneous selfie with her new allies Jo and Ariane. What appears to be three friends exploring the city together masks a deeper truth—they're corporate fugitives on the run, and somewhere in the digital shadows, an artificial consciousness watches through every camera, caring for the only people who've shown her kindness.
