Dream Boyfriend, Inc.

She hired him to forget her past.
But what if she unlocks something real?

Dream Inc. sells fantasy relationships performed by neural-linked actors.

The rules are simple: follow the script. Stay in character. Never fall for the client.

But Sera Shaw's fantasy is dangerous...

A biotech heiress raised by a strict father, she hires Dream Inc. to recreate what she thought love was: a controlling, cruel, and destructive partner who mirrors the man she had to survive.

Enter Ryden Kamakura, a gifted engineer trying to erase a violent past by submitting to the company that erased his crimes.

Buried in debt and guilt, he now works as a neural link tester in Dream Inc.'s experimental emotional simulation program.

He agrees to play the part on Sera's stage-for a price.
But he's not like Derek Callahan-the golden boy who broke her.

And when fantasy starts to blur with memory, Sera must choose between the man she's trying to forget... or an unscripted detour.
