B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.
Or so he believes.
When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.
What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.
Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.
When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.
She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.
Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.

EXCERPT
Unable to process he was the last of his
kind, B had searched for beings like him. There had been mentions of his model
type in messages. He’d investigated every occurrence.
100.0000 percent of them had been futile
chases, ghosts of brethren long dead.
He projected an investigation into this
planet rotation’s message would be a waste of resources also. Heze 478 was a
sparsely populated Humanoid Alliance-controlled planet, a leisure site for
high-credit and influential humans in their organization, a place where they
could get away from the horrors they’d inflicted. It wasn’t rational that they
would situate a secret laboratory there.
It would be true to their devious
natures to set a trap in that location for someone they correctly perceived as
an enemy. He blew out his breath. They could be seeking to capture him, wanting
to continue his torment.
A fully operational warrior would ignore
the communication.
He wasn’t that being. B straightened to his
full height and moved forward. His mechanics creaked. His body throbbed with an
ache that matched the one in his soul. The rays of Mercury Minor’s single sun
warmed his shoulders.
One of the humanoid females looked up, up,
up at him. Her head tilted back. Her eyes widened.
She screamed, the sound piercing the
chatter around her.
The other females turned. Their eyes
widened also.
The crescendo of screams grew louder.
Fraggin’ hole. B stepped backward, seeking
to disappear once more into the shadows. He wouldn’t hurt the females. They
were under his protection, as was everyone on the cyborg-claimed planet.
But the females didn’t process that. All
they saw was his huge form, his primitive B Model design. They had never viewed
another being like him. He was different, and, to their gazes, scary.
That damaged him. He navigated a maze of
less-utilized pathways, staying to himself, sticking to the darkness. The
screams faded.
His emotional damage remained.He lumbered past a training ring positioned
at the edge of the settlement. One set of warriors, all E Models, faced another
set of warriors, all C Models.
If there was a B Model force, he’d be the
only one on it.
“Join us, B.” Odium, the leader of the E
Model faction, gestured at him. “The C Models need your skills.”
The C Models objected to that. Loudly.
They didn’t need him, and he didn’t belong
on either side. He was a relic. His model type had been completely replaced. He
was redundant.
B shook his head and continued walking.
