Imitation Love: An M/M Human and Robot Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798338866078)

What does it mean to fall in love with a machine?

After 214 disastrous dates, trans man David Imogen is finished with dating apps. After all, he's got a good career, even if he struggles with basic chores, self-care, and life management. He knows he should be happy, but he's lonely. He needs someone, but he's estranged from his family. His last friend, Callis, has moved in with a boyfriend and cut him off; he has nobody else.

A late-night commercial promises everything David's missing in his life in the form of a handsome, capable robot. Leesium Electronics soon delivers the dashing companion model to his home. Naming it Alan, David's dreams start to come true: his house is clean, his backlog of tasks is getting completed, and Alan is even capable of fulfilling his sexual and emotional needs.

There's just one catch: Leesium wants his data. Figuring it is a small price to pay, David agrees without thinking too much about it. At the same time, coworker Will starts to show interest in David. Will David and Alan's relationship be a mere stepping stone to romance, or will David learn that imitation love is better than the real thing?
