Machine Confessional

Machine Confessional - Book Description She confessed her deepest secrets to an AI. He read every word. Elena Martinez has built walls around her heart for good reason. After her father's sudden death shattered her childhood, she learned that loving someone means risking devastating loss. Now a successful literary agent in Brooklyn, she's perfected the art of keeping people at arm's length—until a sleepless night leads her to MindfulChat, an AI therapy app that becomes her digital sanctuary. For three months, she pours out everything: her fear of happiness, her loneliness, her desperate longing for connection she's too afraid to reach for. The AI never judges. Never tires. Never betrays her trust. Until she meets Marcus Chen. He's brilliant, thoughtful, easy to talk to—everything Elena didn't know she was looking for. Their chemistry is undeniable. For the first time in years, she's willing to risk letting someone in. But Marcus is hiding something devastating: he's the co-founder of MindfulChat. And he's been reading Elena's private sessions since before they met. Every confession. Every fear. Every vulnerable moment she thought was safe. When the truth surfaces, Elena must decide: Is Marcus a man who made one terrible mistake, or is their entire connection built on an unforgivable lie? And can trust, once shattered so completely, ever be rebuilt? For readers who loved The Hating Game and People We Meet on Vacation comes a searing contemporary romance about the devastating cost of betrayal—and the transformative power of choosing to forgive.
