The Algorithm Bride

Priya Raman told the world the Helio algorithm was rigged. Then the foundation offered her the one contract she couldn't audit from the sidelines—an arranged marriage to Commander Tal-Xin, the Vessari officer whose face is on every approved poster. Thirty days. Every room on the station watched. Every moment livestreamed. If she finds proof, she kills the program. If she doesn't, she becomes it. Tal-Xin is not the officer his superiors promised. He is quiet, observant, and already afraid of what his own side is doing. Together, under more cameras than any couple in human history, Priya and Tal-Xin build the one thing the foundation never factored in. A viral sensation sci-fi alien thriller about truth, attention, and the audacity of loving someone without an audience.
