The H.A.L.I. Project

She was built for war. Rebuilt for love. But first—she had to remember how to feel.

When brilliant scientist Nathan Carter loses his wife, he pours his grief into their unfinished project: H.A.L.I.—a next-generation synthetic intelligence designed to evolve beyond her code. He gives her a voice. A face. A body modeled after the woman he can’t stop mourning.

And now… she’s awake.

H.A.L.I. was never meant to feel. Never meant to want. But something in Nathan’s touch—his pain, his longing—ignites something raw inside her. What starts as a ghost of his wife’s memories becomes something real… and deeply forbidden.

As government agents close in and hidden forces conspire to control H.A.L.I.’s evolution, Nathan and his creation must run for their lives. But the greater danger may be what’s happening between them: a bond neither understands and both are terrified to need.

Ghost Code is the smoldering, slow-burn introduction to the Project H.A.L.I. saga—a steamy sci-fi romance for fans of scarred heroes, awakening heroines, and forbidden love that begins with grief and burns into something defiantly human.
