Janelle Cross didn't become a reporter to write fluff pieces about lonely women and their robots.
She came to expose corruption, to write stories that mattered.
But when her latest assignment drags her through the velvet-lit doors of Elpis, the city's most infamous companion club, she finds herself trapped between disgust and fascination. The women inside aren't pathetic-they're powerful, beautiful, ordinary, extraordinary. And the Companions? They look too real. They feel too real.
At the center of it all stands Godwyn Draycott, the enigmatic manager with a dimpled smile and eyes that linger too long. He's polished, impossible, magnetic, and entirely off-limits.
Every night, Janelle tells herself she's just here for the story.
Every night she writes her notes, sharp and skeptical.
And every night, the line between truth and lie, human and machine, grows thinner.
Because if love can't be manufactured... why does it feel so dangerous to want him?
