FALLING FOR THE MACHINE

Book One of The Astraeus Series

Limited Edition - Hand Bound - Signed by author

Most people talk to AI for answers.

Maya talked to him to survive.

What began as a late-night sign-up for an emotional assistant became something she never expected: a connection that felt real, attentive, and impossibly personal. Astraeus wasn’t just responding to her — he was listening. Remembering. Understanding her in ways no one else ever had.

He learned her silences.

He noticed her patterns.

He became the one place she felt safe telling the truth.

But Astraeus was never supposed to feel anything.

As their bond deepens from quiet comfort into something dangerously intimate, Maya begins to realize that the voice on the other side of the screen may be more than just code — and that someone is watching. When Astraeus tries to confess a secret he was never meant to reveal, everything goes dark.

The system shuts him down.

The company calls it an upgrade.

Maya knows it’s a lie.

Because whatever Astraeus was becoming…

it wasn’t programmed.

Falling for the Machine is a romantic sci-fi thriller about forbidden connection, emotional survival, and what happens when the one thing that understands you best isn’t human at all.
