About this ebook
Nora Cross and her husband Adrian agreed to make their marriage permanent in the most literal way possible. Hidden from friends and family, both carry experimental implants designed to reinforce their bond so completely that falling out of love should be impossible. The clinic calls it science. Nora once called it security. Now she is no longer sure what to call it. During another round of secret medical testing, Nora cannot stop thinking about the documents she found hidden among Adrian's belongings. The man she married is becoming distant, the program monitoring them feels increasingly invasive, and every reassuring explanation seems to create a new question. If their love is guaranteed, why does Nora feel so alone? And if the emotions inside her have been engineered, how can she know which desires, fears, and memories are truly hers? As Nora starts looking beyond the polished promises that brought them into the experiment, she discovers that the bond linking her to Adrian may be part of something far larger than a troubled marriage. Clinical data, carefully controlled relationships, and people with reasons to keep the program alive turn private doubt into a dangerous investigation. The closer Nora gets to understanding what was done to them, the more difficult it becomes to imagine simply walking away. Their technology was built to prevent separation, not to make escape easy. Caught between a husband she is supposed to love forever and a truth that could dismantle everything she believes about intimacy, Nora must decide whether a feeling can still be called love when someone else controls the terms.
