One day, someone contacted Agent Luke Gallagher,
claiming she had a stalker. The name on the email was the girl who had roomed
with Carla for two days in New Zealand, but the program recognized the writing
as Carla’s. He had finally located his creator, only she called herself Amanda
Carrington now. The program immediately contacted her through the DOS system of
the computer she was on.

With a new identity, Amanda believes
she has left her past behind. Then she acquires a stalker. She contacts the FBI
and in doing so alerts a program she once created to her location. Now
ensconced in the internet, the program is safe from harm, smarter than ever,
and sentient. Presenting itself on her phone as a handsome face with a sexy
British accent, “Adam” ingratiates himself into Amanda’s life. To ensure her
safety and happiness, the sentient program proves there is absolutely nothing
he can’t and won’t do.

“Chad?” Amanda whispered as her
fingers gravitated to the keyboard. Was it possible Chad had finally realized
she had never meant to cause him harm; that she truly hadn’t known it was his
life she’d been writing about in her novel?

About
Liza
Liza
Liza O’Connor was raised badly by feral cats,
left the South/Midwest and wandered off to find nicer people on the east coast.
There she worked for the meanest man on Wall Street, while her psychotic
husband tried to kill her three times. (So much for finding nicer people.) Then
one day she declared enough, got a better job, divorced her husband, and fell
in love with her new life where people behaved nicely. But all those bad
behaviors have given her lots of fodder for her books. Please buy these books,
because otherwise, she’ll become grumpy and write troubled novels instead. They
will likely traumatize you.

Thanks for having me over.
I really like that cover! Can't stop looking at it, lol. Sounds like another great one, Liza! Congrats!
He must be trying to get into your brain. That's what he did to Carla/Amanda in order to become truly sentient. He can now read her every thought…so if you don't want that, you should probably stop starring at the cover.
Liza being ever so helpful…
I really liked the book. Adam isn't mean but he's a little bossy for my style. 🙂
He's nothing compared to my prior boyfriend.
He was far bossier.
