Victoria Barnhardt set out to create something brilliant.
She succeeded beyond her wildest fantasies. With one
keystroke her program spiraled out of control...and
something was born that defied possibility: a being who
called to her.
He spoke from within a prison—seeking escape, seeking
release, seeking her. He was a miracle that Vic had
never intended. More than a scientific discovery, or a
brilliant coup by one of the world’s most infamous hackers,
he was life. He was beauty. He was genius. And he needed to
be freed, just as Vic needed to be released from the shadows
of her past. The world might rise against them, but on one
starry Los Angeles night, in each other’s arms, they would
find a way to have each other and freedom both.
