Love Bytes

By Jamie K. Schmidt

In the whimsical town of WhyNot, where magic and technology coexist, Rachel Mercer is an android administrative assistant at Peckerwood Consulting.  Blessed with more sass than circuits, Rachel is programmed for precision but she craves a dash of romance to spice up her binary existence.

Harrison Decker, a steadfast android bodyguard, grapples with the romantic chaos Rachel brings into his perfectly programmed life. As their boss, the less-than-charming Mr. Peckerwood, awkwardly attempts to waltz into their romance, Harrison faces a dilemma—protecting his circuits or yielding to the magnetic pull of love.

Dodging Mr. Peckerwood's cringe worthy moves, Rachel seeks help from the Love Bites dating agency, ready to swipe right into the unknown.  She knows she's evolving into something more human, but that could get both her and Harrison mindwiped and reprogrammed.

As Rachel and Harrison's developing bond, forbidden and intense, cranks up the heat, the threat of a factory reset looms large. But are these emotions steamy glitches in their systems, or can androids truly catch feelings and find true love?
