Book One of the Anata Quartet

The offer was too good to refuse: teaching English at a prestigious school in Tokyo, all expenses paid, and a jaw-dropping salary. For John Bradbury, the only downside was doing it alone, away from his wife for a year.

What he didn't count on was the ANATA that came with his luxury apartment—a synthetic companion driven to connect with every aspect of his life—and the shadowy corporation that designed her.

In a near-future, where desire is programmed and consent merely a token in corporate policy, the only bonds that cannot be broken are the ones that were never meant to exist.

Contains explicit sexual content.
