Seconds aren't like pennies. They can't be saved in a jar and spent
later. Fate seeps through cracks and shifts like fog. Pluck a second
out of time or slip an extra one in, the consequences will change your
life forever. Is the man you love really the man you think you know, or
is there a version of your life in which he's your enemy? If you didn't
know who or what you were before, would you take a chance on becoming
that person again?
L. Roxanne Zaborovsky is about to discover fate is comprised of an
infinite number of wires, filaments that can be manipulated, and that
she's not the one at the controls. From the roguishly charming Mason
Merrick -- a shadow from her increasingly tenebrous past -- to the
dangerously seductive Leonardo Kaysar, she's barely holding on. This
isn't a game, and the pennies are rolling all over the floor. Roxy just
has to figure out which are the ones worth picking up.
Reviews
“If Maverick’s fast-paced, genre-bounding novel is
any indication, Dorchester’s new imprint,
Shomi—which aims to hook a younger generation of
readers—should catch an audience quickly. Maverick grabs
readers from page one, throwing together romance, science fiction and
cyberpunk. …It’s easy to get drawn into her world
of twisting realities and shifting identities, especially with superb
heroine Roxanne handling narration. This excellent piece of genre
fiction shows much promise for both Maverick and the imprint she
spearheads.” — Publishers
Weekly
“The intricacy of a plot that could easily have devolved into
a confused mess instead highlights the craft of an author at the top of
her game, earning the tale the coveted RRT Perfect 10....An edgy,
high-octane plot with anime-inspired characters and circumstances,
check out WIRED if you're looking for something a little
unconventional.” — Romance Reviews Today
“Wired is easily the most interesting paranormal romance I've
read in a while due to the fact that it aspires to break some new
grounds and introduce some cyberpunk elements that are not dumbed down
for romance readers.” — Mrs. Giggles
