As soon as the government passed legislation allowing humans
to be genetically engineered and sold as pets, the rich and
powerful rushed to own beautiful girls like Ella. Trained
from birth to be graceful, demure, and above all, perfect,
these “family companions” enter their masters’ homes
prepared to live a life of idle luxury.
Ella is happy with her new role as playmate for a
congressman’s bubbly young daughter, but she doesn’t expect
Penn, the congressman’s handsome and rebellious son. He’s
the only person who sees beyond the perfect exterior to the
girl within. Falling for him goes against every rule she
knows…and the freedom she finds with him is intoxicating.
But when Ella is kidnapped and thrust into the dark
underworld lurking beneath her pampered life, she’s faced
with an unthinkable choice. Because the only thing more
dangerous than staying with Penn’s family is leaving…and if
she’s unsuccessful, she’ll face a fate far worse than death.
