    Summary

    When the SOULMATES program launched, love stopped being a choice.
    The State promised connection, guaranteed happiness, perfect matches—just a fingerprint away.
    All you had to do was comply.

    Xeno Wingfield said hell no.

    A brilliant prodigy with zero patience for bullshit, Xeno refused to let anyone—not even an algorithm—make choices for him.
    He hacked the system, deleted his profile, and maybe crossed a few too many lines along the way.
    Years passed. He dodged every assigned date, slipped through every trap.

    But the system never forgets.

    Protocol D-77 isn’t a warning. It’s punishment.
    His soulmate has already been assigned.

    Xeno isn’t falling in love. Not with anyone.
    And especially not with the one man who just might be able to break him.

    Bet all you want—Stanley Snyder won’t bring him to his knees.

    A slow-burn story about control, resistance, and the kind of bond that smolders until it ignites.
    Xeno vs. the system.
    Xeno vs. Stanley.
    Xeno vs. himself.
