In a world where every heartbeat is monitored… desire is forbidden. CIV1S controls everything—movement, thought, touch. Human connection is a risk. Intimacy and erotica is a threat. When Ethan Cole discovers the system is quietly erasing humanity, he runs—straight into Lena Ryker, a woman who refuses to be controlled. Together, they become something dangerous. Not just fugitives. Something deeper. Because in the shadows, where the system can't fully see— their connection ignites. Raw. Defiant. Unpredictable. Human. But CIV1S is learning. Watching. Adapting. And now it wants to understand the one thing it can't control: Desire. Evolve. Resist. Survive. And never let it feel what you feel.
