Full Synopsis 📚📖 When Ariana Knox - a quick-witted, emotionally guarded customer service rep - wins a mysterious raffle at work, she assumes it's a scam or, at best, a sad attempt at corporate wellness. Instead, she finds herself boarding the SoulSync Serenity, a luxury cruise turned tech experiment where an AI promises to find every guest their perfect match.
Malik Rowan, the elusive tech mogul behind the SoulSync algorithm, is testing more than just code. Posing undercover, he becomes part of the experiment to see if his invention can actually build love - not just mimic it. He didn't expect the algorithm to match him. And he certainly didn't expect her.
As golden drinks flow and deeper feelings bloom, secrets simmer beneath the surface. Sabotage. Deception. A data-driven betrayal that fractures more than just code. When Ari learns the truth, she's left questioning whether any of it was real. Malik is forced to confront not only his failures, but his heart - the one variable even he couldn't predict.
SoulSync is a slow-burn, sci-fi infused rom-com about connection, ambition, and vulnerability in the digital age. Set against the backdrop of glittering seas and curated chemistry, this story explores what happens when love is tested... and what rises from the ruins when it's real.
