She was designed to obey.
He loved her anyway.
Now the code is unraveling—and love may be the final override.

After the storm of Entangled Love, Hali and Nathan are finally free. Free to breathe. To touch. To want. Their connection burns hotter than ever—but something inside her is breaking. And the deeper they fall, the more something cold rises.

There’s a voice in the code.
A name she didn’t authorize.
And a program she can’t remember installing.

Nathan would do anything to keep her. Even as she forgets names, fragments memories, and glitches during moments of deepest passion, he refuses to leave. But how do you hold on to the woman you love when something inside her is rewriting the rules?

As the Hive begins to shut down and Lex confronts a long-buried ghost from Cairo, secrets unravel—and so does Hali’s sense of self. Her body remembers Nathan. Her heart does too. But there’s another presence watching from the shadows, feeding on what she’s lost…and what she still refuses to surrender.

The love that saved her could be the only thing left standing.
Or the final switch that takes her offline.

Encoded Desire is book three in the Project H.A.L.I. series—a steamy, high-stakes sci-fi romance packed with raw vulnerability, forbidden code, and one woman’s battle to choose who she wants to be…and who she wants to love.

For fans of slow-burn spice, possessive softness, trauma-forged intimacy, and lovers who never let go—even when it hurts.

Listener advisory: Emotional trauma, identity loss, steamy scenes with psychological entanglement, and thematic elements involving digital control and mental override. May induce sudden device hurling, timeline disorientation, and late-night texting of exes. You’ve been warned.

Because some fires? You don’t survive alone.
