My days are filled with code and algorithms, but my nights are haunted by isolation and loneliness. When I’m asked to beta test a new advanced AI system created by three brilliant and painfully good-looking colleagues, what I thought was a straightforward task quickly turns into something far more complex. They started watching me. Tracking my every move. What began as simple data collection on their end has transformed into a fixation. The beta test is over, but the three men can’t seem to stop. Watching. Analyzing. Obsessing. They saw my loneliness, my trauma, and now they want to breach the barrier and give me the closeness I crave. But will the secrets they hold break our intense connection? *** SOUL CODE is a medium burn, spicy ‘why choose’ contemporary romance. It is the first book of the Coded Connections Duet and ends on a cliffhanger. Some parts may be triggering. ***. less

But the closer we became, the more I realized that our bond was built on secrets, lies, and obsessions. What started as a simple beta test of their advanced AI system quickly spiraled into something I could never have imagined. They made me feel alive. But they also watched me. Analyzed me, were completely transfixed on every single part of me. I thought our connection was real, which is why it hurt when they were…. Deceptive. Hallow. Artificial. I had no choice but to escape back to London—where I swore I’d never return. But they’re still tracking my every move, and as lines between reality and the virtual world blur, I have to decide if I can ever trust them again. Mind Code is a slow burn, spicy, MFMM why-choose contemporary romance. It is the second book of the Coded Connections Duet and is not a standalone. For mature readers. less
