Lily is the heir to her father's family fortune, except she wants no part in it. Especially if it means having to spend months away from her loving mother, being ignored by her genius, yet reclusive father, and tormented by her domineering grandmother.Since her parents' divorce, Lily has been forced to spend every summer, bored to death, at her father's dilapidated estate in England. The one consolation is that this is the last summer she will have to visit before her eighteenth birthday frees her of this obligation. What Lily doesn't expect to find is someone who is just as lonely and out of place as she is. Someone that could make her actually want to stay at the rundown mansion. Deep in the basement of her father's home, she finds Adam, who is half human, half machine. He is her father's latest prototype: a creation built for war, but able to do so much more than just basic fighting tactics and artillery protocol. Lily cannot help but be drawn to her father's experiment, though she's certain nothing can come of it. When she realizes that Adam will eventually be taken from her and potentially destroyed, she must decide whether putting her family in jeopardy is worth the risk of helping him escape.
