He replaced forty percent of his nervous system to kill the wolf inside. But one scent just crashed the system.

AELAX:
I am a weapon. A warlord. A machine built of chrome and discipline.
I replaced my spine, my arm, and my eye to suppress the biological rage that destroyed my unit. I live in a cold, silent cage of my own making. Safe. Controlled. Dead.

Until she walked into my workshop.

Oliette. The mechanic with grease on her hands and a debt she can’t pay.

She thinks I’m just a broken piece of hardware to be fixed. She doesn't know that my suppression reservoir is empty. She doesn't know the blast doors just locked us in.
And she doesn't know that she smells like the one thing my machine side can’t process: Mine.

OLIETTE:

I have four hours to fix the Warlord’s spine and clear my father’s debt.

Aelax Steel is a legend—and a nightmare. He’s massive, scarred, and looks at me like I’m a variable he wants to delete. I can handle the tech. I can handle the pressure.

But then the alarms blared. The doors sealed shut.

And the man made of cold metal suddenly started burning hot.

I’m trapped in twenty feet of concrete with a cyborg Alpha entering a biological frenzy. He says I should run. He says he destroys everything he touches.

But when he pins me against the workbench, I don't want to run.

I want to see what happens when the machine breaks.
