us: the AI in me

Aybiline I. Dahlson

He knew her name before she knew he existed. He fought for her life before she knew she was dying. He fell for her before she said a single word. When Alisia is abducted from Earth and sold to an alien empire, she expects captivity, fear, and no way home. Instead, she finds a galaxy at war, an empire that wants to turn her into a weapon, and a future where she is meant to die. Her only hope: the voice in her head. Calm. Male. Uninvited. And the only one who refuses to let her die. She never agreed to share her mind. She never agreed to share her life. But some bonds don't ask permission. An advanced AI — accidentally implanted where a control chip should have been — has fused with her brain. Permanently. Irreversibly. He sees what she sees. Feels what she feels. And he has been fighting for her survival for weeks before she even knew he existed. His name, she decides, is Eric. He already knows everything about her. She knows almost nothing about him. And somewhere between distrust and dependence, between survival and something far more dangerous, the line between her and us begins to blur. ------ A slow-burn sci-fi romance with high stakes, forced proximity, and an impossible bond. ------ Start of the Laim Saga.

The Last Safehouse, A Love Worth Dying For

K.C. Mitchell

They took everything from her. Now, she’s their biggest threat. Krista Fitzpatrick’s eighteenth birthday was supposed to be a celebration. Instead, it ended in bloodshed. Her parents, highly trained government assassins, were executed, and now the killers are hunting her. Targeted for a microchip she knows nothing about, Krista is plunged into a world of espionage, deception, and deadly alliances. Krista must rely on the one person she’s not sure she can trust to keep her alive: Oliver Paige, a former Navy SEAL with one mission. He’ll break the rules, cross lines, and defy orders to protect her. But the more time they spend together, the more dangerous their growing connection becomes. As the stakes become greater, Krista must decide who to trust. Because sometimes the last safehouse… is you. 🔥 Perfect for fans of Red Sparrow, The Bourne Identity, The Bodyguard, and Every Last Breath, a high-stakes romantic thriller where love could be the ultimate weapon—or the greatest risk of all. This is the first book in The Last Safehouse Series. Each book follows The Firm’s elite operatives as they risk everything for love, loyalty, and the fight for justice with hope, faith, and redemption threads that weave throughout.
