She came to investigate his company. Falling for him wasn't part of the assignment.
AI ethics investigator Maya Bennett has built her career on asking difficult questions. When an AI companion gives a child dangerous advice, those questions lead her to Vale Technologies—and its brilliant, infuriating billionaire founder, Adrian Vale.
He expects accusations. She expects excuses.
Neither expects to enjoy arguing quite so much—or to keep thinking about the other long after the workday ends.
As long hours become shared dinners and guarded conversations turn personal, Maya begins to see the man beyond the fortune. Adrian, who rarely lets anyone close enough to challenge him, finds himself wanting her to stay.
But their history is more tangled than either realizes. The technology that helped launch Adrian's success once cost Maya's family their financial security. Every step toward him brings her closer to a past she cannot separate from the investigation.
Meanwhile, someone is deliberately manipulating Vale's systems. Vulnerable people remain at risk, and the evidence points toward a betrayal that makes Adrian's fight painfully personal.
Maya wants the truth. Adrian wants answers—and, increasingly, revenge.
For Maya, falling for him cannot mean abandoning the principles that brought her to his door. For Adrian, trusting her becomes harder when she refuses to tell him what he wants to hear.
Finding who is responsible is only part of the battle. The choices that follow could destroy everything growing between them.
The truth could save his company. What he does with it could cost him her.
The Algorithm Between Us is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romantic suspense filled with sharp banter, family ties, and hard-earned intimacy—a story about forgiveness and loving someone without surrendering what you believe.
