She built a machine to replace trust. She didn't count on falling in love with the glitch.

Jessa Ford is the Architect. Cold, precise, and terrifyingly efficient, she runs Aethelgard Dynamics with a heart made of code. After a betrayal that cost her millions, she lives by a single algorithm: Trust is negligence.

Her latest invention, Project Synapse, is the ultimate safeguard—biometric "handcuffs" that force business partners to share every heartbeat, every stress spike, and every lie. It’s perfect, invasive, and completely logical.

She just needs a guinea pig to prove it works.

Mara Brooks is the Anomaly. Brilliant, broke, and dangerously intuitive, she solves problems with gut instinct, not spreadsheets. She is the statistical opposite of Jessa’s perfectly curated world. She is also the only one desperate enough to agree to the terms.

The Experiment:
  • Seventy-two hours trapped in Jessa’s sterile penthouse.
  • Ten feet of separation.
  • Total biometric transparency.
It was supposed to be a simple calibration test. But when a thunderstorm knocks out the power, the data shifts. The wristbands stop tracking stress and start tracking hunger.

Now, Jessa is trapped in a feedback loop of her own making. Every time she looks at Mara, the device on her wrist betrays her. It buzzes with a desire she can’t hide and a chaotic connection she can’t quantify.

As the board meeting looms and the heat between them threatens to melt the servers, Jessa faces a terrifying choice: delete the data to save her empire, or let the system crash and admit that for the first time in her life, she’s out of control.

Perfect for fans of Lee Winter, Haley Cass, and high-heat "Ice Queen" romances, The Biometric Bet is a story about the chaos of control and the terrifying efficiency of falling in love.
