The Memory Architect

In the futuristic city of Caelum, memories are currency-and forgetting is a luxury.
Amara Vale is the best in her field. As a renowned Memory Architect, she specializes in erotic trauma recovery and full sensory purges for clients desperate to forget the people who haunt them. Controlled. Respected. Untouchable. She keeps a firm boundary between her work and her emotional life.

But when Malek Azar enters her Archive, requesting a purge of an unnamed woman burned into his body and dreams, Amara expects another loop of lust, longing, and emotional residue.

What she gets is a memory that refuses to degrade.

Each session pulls them deeper into a shared space neither of them understands. Malek doesn't remember the woman. Amara doesn't recognize the memory. But the loop pulses with a knowing that feels dangerously real-intimate, recursive, and alive. As desire creeps beneath professionalism and memories shift beneath the surface, Amara begins to question everything.

What if the memory isn't his to forget?

And what if it was never hers to lose?
