About the book: year / London bartender Fane thinks he's hit the jackpot when he finds a rare and expensive service bot in a trash bin and takes it home to fix it. Joe-E brings some much-needed company to Fane's lonely life, but there's something different about this bot, judging by his strange behavior. Fane's developing feelings for Joe-E worry him, and things take a turn for the worse when a robotics engineer shows up on Fane's doorstep demanding the return of his property. Fein is forced to choose between an impressive reward and what his heart tells him. If he gives in to his forbidden desires, it could kill him - or change his life forever.
