My name is a number, or at least it had always been that way until Adam, my master, brings me to his home and calls me Bella.
He almost makes me feel human—almost—but I'm as much animal as I am person, a travesty to nature according to the vile scientists who created me. That Adam also makes me feel desired, a woman he wants as his own, sends me into a tailspin I can't control.
But then, I distrust everyone, especially men. I plan my escape, making use of my untried wings to get away. I'm exhausted when I land in a grungy part of a strange city. When a feral gang of men try to overpower me and have their wicked way, I use my powers to overthrow them, but ultimately it's a stranger, a street-toughened man named Reuben, who saves me.
I willingly stay with him. He's known as Chief in the underground fighting world, where he battles against other hardened men for glory and cash prizes. But behind closed doors he shows me his tender side, and he makes me feel again, filling some of the void Adam left in my heart.
Or so I thought.
It isn't until I'm captured again by Adam that I question everything I've resisted.
How can I want to be with this brilliant man of science even as I want to be with a man who rules the streets?
Which of them should I trust? Who do I love?
I guess I'm about to find out.
