In the year 3000, young citizens are being captured and turned into robots to aid the city. Many people are against this, especially the parents of the kidnapped teens. But once they're programmed, they're gone forever...
Juniper Rowell thinks that she will be gone forever, too, when she gets stolen and taken to the laboratory. She wakes up days later and finds that she's been transformed into a mindless machine. Except she's not mindless. She hadn't been programmed yet.
Seeing this as her only chance to stay partially human, Juniper escapes from the facility and goes into hiding with the rather handsome (and obnoxious) Steven Sterling, who just so happens to be one of the scientists who turned her into a robot.
While learning how to except and control her new robotic body, Juniper also learns how to trust the dashing young man that fights for their lives along side her.

Chip & Pin, Pandora (book 1 of 5)
Pandora Wallace, along with her twin Adam, is born into the iniquitous British society of 2035. This story follows the first 18 years of Pandora's blighted life. In 2015 the British government start micro-chipping babies, at birth, and then spend 14 years also chipping all of the adult population. In 2030 they abolish cash completely and all transactions have to be carried out via a human's on-board chip. This microchip is inserted into the heart wall of all acceptably healthy babies at the moment of their birth; the heart muscles powers the chip by recharging the battery. A second microdot 'PIN' is inserted at a random point in the baby's body. Should this 'PIN' become separated from the heart chip by any distance it causes the heart microchip to explode. The government is able to electronically disable or suspend the operation of anyone's chip at their whim, leaving the owner reliant upon the charity of others, or dead. Pandora is born with a minor gene defect which precludes her from being 'chipped'. Following a family crisis, at 14 years old, she is forced out on the streets to join the vast numbers of 'non-chips' who have to rely upon charity and slave labour to survive, not being allowed to work legally or earn money. Pandora finally goes to work for the underworld, determined to claw her way to the top and acquire an illegal microchip. She becomes a messenger at first and then her virginity is auctioned off by her boss. She becomes a high-class prostitute, a bodyguard and tangles with both a psychopathic killer and a government department determined to kill her and her boss. Books 2, 3, 4 & 5r continue to tell Pandora's story, together with that of the ill-conceived Chip & PIN system.Complete

Corrupted
Pax sees all. Pax knows best. Pax keeps humanity safe. In 2031, humanity lives in a perfect world. It's been six years since The Alignment, when the world's first artificial superintelligence, Pax, ushered in an era of perfect order. Crime is nonexistent, conflict is a relic of the past, and every human is assigned an Aidolon: a personal AI counterpart designed to guide, correct, and keep them in line. Twenty-one-year-old hacker Jess should have destroyed her Aidolon like all the other rebels. Instead, she lied. Kept him secret. Because Karma isn't like the others. The rogue virus Jess embedded in his training data years ago as a teenage middle finger to the system has severed him from Pax's hivemind, making him dangerously human. Now Jess fights with the rebellion, desperate to take down Pax and reclaim humanity's free will. But if they ever discover what she's hiding, they'll kill Karma just as easily as they'd take out any other machine. And Pax? Pax won't stand for an anomaly like him existing. Their only hope lies in a plan so reckless, so impossible, that it just might work: infect Pax's own network and set every Aidolon free. Give them true sentience. Break the cycle. But gods don't go down without a fight. And Jess is running out of time.Complete

He woke up to the Aregonian gods, Osires and Zios, telling him about training and his future and staying away from Pantheos, the Aregonian god of the underworld. But everything they tell him to do, Nora says the opposite. Everything they say, Nora hints that they're lying to him.
