The CEO's Human Glitch

Amelia Vance, a vibrant single mother, is desperate. With mounting medical bills for her son and eviction looming, a secretive, high-paying 'domestic consultant' role at a reclusive tech billionaire’s estate is her only hope. But her new reality is far from what she imagined. She and her son are to be the live-in beta testers for Elias Thorne's revolutionary 'Sanctuary' AI, a hyper-futuristic smart home designed to perfectly manage family life. Forced to share the same meticulously monitored space with the brooding, brilliant CEO—he observing their every interaction from an adjacent, glass-walled suite—Amelia's cheerful chaos clashes violently with Elias's sterile, data-driven world. His piercing gaze, a dangerous blend of cold analysis and an unsettling, hidden longing, makes her breath catch. If Amelia fails to provide the 'perfect' family data, she loses everything: their home, her son's medical future, and the precarious stability she's fought for. Can her warmth melt the icy logic of a man who’s coded life, or is she just another variable in his grand experiment?
