She was never supposed to fall for the human. In the neon underbelly of Neptune’s Lusty Coil, jaded doctor Hugo spends his nights patching up alien dancers and trying to forget the one he can’t stop saving. Sophie is the last she-spider left alive—snow-white hair, six crimson eyes, eight silky black legs, and a mating cycle that makes her dangerously obsessed with the only man who ever treated her like more than a monster. They’re friends. They’re forbidden. And every time she weaves him into her web, the rules of the AI overlord Avr hang over them like a death sentence. One more night. One more “body lesson.” One more chance to risk everything.
