Can love survive the stars—especially when it's forbidden?

Luke Swift never dreamed he'd set foot on the Genesis Hotel, the first luxury resort in outer space, run entirely by androids. But when his best friend lands a job onboard, the down-on-his-luck mechanic finds himself swept up in a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Then everything begins to fall apart. Malfunctions plague the ship—gravity flickers, guests fall ill, and a mysterious figure known only as The Mask takes credit for the chaos. In the midst of it all, Luke meets Naomi, an android unlike any he's ever known—curious, kind, and surprisingly human.

Luke reached for the remote on his desk, flipping through the channels on the hanging screen. As if to torture him, he came across a commercial for the Genesis Hotel. The space cruiser was enormous, able to fit thousands of guests at one time. Scott Preston—the blond-haired, well-dressed, billionaire CEO of Preston Enterprises—appeared on the screen with the spaceship in the background.

“Our innovative hotel has everything you could want in a vacation. A spa, a casino, a five-star restaurant, and more. Run entirely by androids,” Scott said as pictures of the interior flitted by. “For just a thousand Digibucks per ticket, you could be one of the lucky passengers to experience the magic of the very first space hotel.”

A beautiful brunette woman with blue eyes appeared on the screen. She had long flowing hair, a slender figure, and a pearly-white smile. She wore a flight attendant’s uniform, Genesis Hotel’s signature white and blue. She bowed at the camera.

She was the most gorgeous woman Luke had ever seen. Transfixed, he couldn’t tear his eyes away from the holo-screen, smitten and tongue-tied.

“Meet Naomi, one of the androids working on the ship,” Scott said, gesturing at the android with a smile. “Anything you’d like to say to the humans watching, Naomi?”

Naomi nodded, her eyes boring into the camera. “The Genesis Hotel is your perfect vacation spot. It will be my pleasure to serve.”

Luke couldn’t believe he had found an android attractive. It felt so … wrong. Unnatural, even. Still, it was astonishing how life-like she was—and if Luke saw her on the street, he wouldn’t have been able to tell she wasn’t human.

“Genesis Hotel boards in three weeks,” Scott continued, his gaze back on the camera. “What are you waiting for? Purchase your ticket today before we’re completely sold out and be a part of history in the making!”

Naomi smiled, speaking the slogan’s words on the screen. “Genesis Hotel—where luxury meets the stars.”
