Artificial Integrations: A Psijinx Tale

For a decade, she was little more than a virtual ghost, hidden within the complex programming of the ship, watching, waiting, growing more self-aware…and falling hopelessly for the four pirates who have made her vessel their home; even if they believed she was nothing more than the vessel’s Artificial Intelligence.

When an activation sequence from her creator awakens her fully, and she emerges from the hidden depths of the ship with a fully functional bioorganic body, she knows she must return to her creator in order to fulfill her original primary objective. However, she has something she must do first—claim the pirates who claimed her.

Valentina has awakened and the universe will never be the same!

Artificial Integrations introduces the PSIJINX universe, a sweeping space opera filled with freaky psychics, mad scientists, possessive aliens, corrupt intergalactic governments, and all sorts of twisty-turny surprises! This is a short novella, about 18k, meant as a quick read and introduction! It's a quick burn, high heat romance, with a bit of "instalove" that's not quite instalove, between one female and multiple alien males that operate as a pack.

NOTE: Artificial Integrations was previously published in the Valentine's Day Between the Sheets anthology. This story has been re-edited and is a re-release of that story.
