Wendy — Lisa Hall

It's 2336 and New Chicago hasn't lost its edge. Wendy Zapata is a genius from the Southend who's been blowing the scholastic curve at UNC for years. But romance? That's an equation that keeps equaling zero. When a fellow university student falsely accuses her of sabotage, she isn't about to let him get away with it. But when payback sees her running afoul of Tony Caldera, the Eastside Enforcer, not even Wendy can predict what will happen next.

Tony Caldera's job is enforcing the law on the Eastside, but a certain feisty redhead is complicating things. Not only has Wendy Zapata hacked their network, she's using one of their own programs to do it. His boss wants her brought in, wants her working for them. But if Tony uses the leverage to force Wendy's hand, he may be destroying the best thing that's ever happened to him.

Risk and romance. Lover or traitor. The odds are stacked against them both.
