SYNOPSIS:
…The hungry ones want in…..
It’s 9012, and inside the life-sustaining
bio-dome, human men have been extinct for thousands of years. The women have
replaced them with sexy robotic male companions, programmed to cook, clean, and
satisfy their owners’ most intimate personal requirements.
But there are more creatures left alive
outside than anyone ever thought possible.
And some of them want to come in.

EXCERPT:
A long workbench dominated the
low-ceilinged area, and Amy was leaning over it, melting the serial number off
a shoulder blade.
"Oh hell," said Tina, "How
are you going to get the skin back on that?"
Amy lifted her visor. "There's a patch
of skin growing in that tank over there." She nodded toward the corner.
"It should take. He's not for show anyway, he's being sold to one of the
restaurants."
Tina nodded. The restaurants were usually
staffed with underground-market bots. While a handsome Hypton served the main
course, it was often prepared behind the scenes by a stripped-down man-bot
who'd had his face removed and his numbers melted away to avoid identification.
"I saw something interesting
today," said Tina.
"Mmm?" Tina watched as Amy
smoothed the melted area where the serial number had been. Serial chips on the
newer Hyptons were holographically embedded, and it wouldn't be long before
they'd have to come up with new procedures for erasing them.
"A really different bot. Short. Hairy."
"A Hypton?"
"I'm thinking no. Maybe he's an
antique?"
"Can you get him?"
"He belongs to a friend."
"No, then." Amy had a rule about
not stealing from people you knew.
"She might sell him. For less than
he's worth, I mean. She doesn't like him."
"Find out what he is first. I'll take
him if there's a profit in it. I do have some clients with unusual
tastes."
"I think he's cute."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I mean, he's not hideous or
anything. He's just not perfect."
Amy put down the tool she'd been using to
smooth out the metal, and pulled an envelope from the pocket of her apron.
"Now I'm really curious."
Tina reached out and took the envelope.
"She's taking him to the dealership tomorrow. I'm meeting her there. If I
can get him alone, I'll try to scan him."
"Good. Pay attention to any new
security features they mention. And try to get a tour of the assembly
area."
Tina stuffed the envelope down into her
boot and let herself out. She didn't need to count it; Amy always paid what
they'd agreed on.
She headed home to start going through her
clothes. She needed to find something decent to wear to Hypton, Inc. with Lyssa
tomorrow.
She needed to look like she belonged there.
TEASER:
INSIDE:
JANIE
As
a member of the elite guard that protects the dome and all those inside it,
Janie enjoys a life of luxury with her penthouse apartment and her brand new,
fully loaded man-bot.
But her job is about to get more difficult;
Will she be able to cope when she's sent on a high-risk mission into the wild
lands?
MARLYSSA
17 yo Lyssa is tired of being jealous of
her older cousin Janie. With her glamorous job and her grown-up apartment,
Janie seems to have everything Lyssa is so tired of waiting for. When Janie comes home with a sexy new
man-bot, it's the last straw for Lyssa.
Her jealousy sends straight to the bad side
of town, where she'll make a dangerous purchase of her own.
CONNIE
Infinite wealth and an army of Hyptons
can't begin to satisfy Connie while her soul is still haunted by the man she
can't forget.
She's searched him out for years, and now
the race is on to bring him back inside to safety, before it's too late.
OUTSIDE:
JACK
Things are getting worse every day. It's getting hotter and the bugs are getting
bigger...and hungrier.
In order to protect his wife, Jack is
determined to get inside the dome and carve out a life for them there...but
will his wild plan succeed in time?
COLE
It's been a decade, and Cole has worked
hard to resurrect the shattered northern dome.
Thanks to his constant mental vigilance and
the potent output of his stills, Cole has almost forgotten: the hunger of her
kiss, the heat of her eyes, the silken whisper of her skin against his. But a
chance encounter with some refugees from a destroyed civilization threatens to
put him right back into the fire.
BECKY
She's the kind of woman a man would do
anything to keep hold of....even if it means leaving his world behind and
crawling straight into Hell.
But while her husband Jack is living a
nightmare to secure her safety, she finds her feelings for him fading away, at
the same time she's heating up for a rugged, still tending drifter from the
northern dome.
