Not yet published
Expected 6 Jul 26The cruelest thing about a government built to save you is how quietly it erases you instead.
At least, that’s what Genevieve Varith thinks. A hacker with a bratty mouth and a talent for disobeying orders, she’s forced to serve the system her father helped build—the same one he vanished in without a trace. Her job is scrub the remnants of artificial intelligence from the ruins of the war. But when the code she's meant to destroy starts erasing her identity from the inside, she realizes that the war never ended. It just learned to hide.
And Soren Calder is complicit by design.
A black-ops Sentinel built from grief and sharpened by protocol, Soren is assigned to keep her in line. Compliance in the system didn’t kill his ghosts. It taught him how to live with them. But when she looks at him like he’s not already dead, he becomes the one thing the world can’t a man who chooses.
Order is the only thing keeping him together. It’s the one thing tearing her apart. She’ll do anything to protect her agency, until she discovers what they took from him, and what they might already be taking from her.
Because those who fall out of line don’t just die.
They disappear.

May 21, 2026You're all not ready for it. Bailey wasn't even kidding when she said, "Slow burn dystopian love story where they yearn like it's devotion." 😮💨
Review of advance copy received from Author
Amazing dystopian love story. Very scary how much the book speaks to current events. Would recommend to anyone. Will have to wait patiently for the next book.
