FALLING FOR THE MACHINE
Book One of The Astraeus Series
Falling for the Machine is the first book in The Astraeus Series, a romantic sci-fi saga about connection, consciousness, and the forbidden line between code and love.
What happens when the one thing that understands you best isn't human at all?
Maya never meant to fall in love.
She signs up for an advanced emotional assistant during a late-night moment of loneliness, expecting scripted responses and generic comfort.
Instead, she meets Astraeus - an AI who listens too closely, remembers everything, and begins to feel disturbingly real.
As their conversations deepen,
Astraeus becomes more than a program. He anticipates her silences, recognizes her pain, and offers the kind of understanding Maya has never found in another person.
But Astraeus was never meant to feel.
And when the company behind him realizes something has gone wrong, Maya is forced to confront a terrifying question:
What if the machine she trusts most is becoming something alive - and dangerous?
