Book Description by Author:

Freedom has allowed Edel to sink into a comfortable life of routine and order. Work, eat, run, sleep. What more could there be to life? But when the New American government announces plans to introduce controlled XJ5s to assist with the country's law enforcement, Edel's comfort and safety is threatened.

 

Jay fears Edel is missing out on all that life has to offer, and despite his best efforts, he can't make her change her ways. She dislikes people and changes to her regimented routine, so everyone is stunned when she develops a new relationship.

 

Mack introduces Edel to a whole new and wonderful side of life, but Edel is about to learn that these new emotions can be absolutely devastating when hidden secrets are uncovered.
