The Last Safe Touch

By Jai Simon

They said it was just a virus.
A strange, untreatable infection that made human touch painful-sometimes fatal. But when the pain begins with love, and the cure costs more than memory, one couple learns that the truth was never about protection-it was about control.

Dr. Ava Morin is a brilliant biologist trapped in a sterilized world, forbidden from touching the man she loves. Niko is a former military operative turned protector, desperate to save the woman who's slowly slipping away-until she disappears altogether.

As society spirals into fear and isolation, Ava is secretly replaced by a clone engineered by Thryma, a shadowy biotech syndicate. But love, memory, and desire aren't so easily replicated. With global collapse on the horizon, Niko uncovers a terrifying conspiracy involving synthetic identities, neural syncing, and a child born between worlds.

From AI-enhanced storytelling comes a visceral, deeply sensual sci-fi novel exploring identity, intimacy, and the power of touch in a world where none of it is safe.

The Last Safe Touch is a genre-bending fusion of science fiction, romance, and psychological suspense-for fans of Black Mirror, Annihilation, and The Handmaid's Tale.
