Overview

Winston Lowe is trying to make it through his senior year of college so he can put school—and his mostly absent father—behind him. All he’s ever wanted was a dad who shows up and instead he got one who tries to buy Winston's love with extravagant gifts. A car. An off-campus house. An unlimited allowance. Nothing Winston wants, but he's used to that. If he got what he wanted, his best friend Lucky would love him back.

The most recent gift, a very humanoid-looking AI robot, has Winston and Lucky more than intrigued. Calvin, as the robot calls himself, is adapting to human life in ways no one could have expected. Winston thought the robots were supposed to be emotionless, impartial, sensible, but Calvin is anything but.

Calvin's presence in the house, along with his affinity for thigh-high stockings, short skirts, and intimacy might be what Winston has needed all along. Winston's relationship with Lucky is finally shifting into something romantic, but so is their relationship with Calvin.

A robot.

All the things that make Calvin special and different are the same things that threaten his existence—and Winston's happiness. There are men searching for Calvin, desperate to right the wrongs of his programming. Is the very real love between the three of them enough to survive the odds or will Calvin's memory be erased, taking Winston and Lucky's love with it?
