The Silver Metal Lover

"Jane has it all. Clothes, money, and a beautiful home high above the city. But her safe little world is shattered the minute she meets Silver. Brilliant, witty, a gifted musician, kind, understanding, and gorgeous, Silver is the perfect man - except that he is a robot. Jane wants Silver like she's never wanted anything or anyone before. But it's different with robots - you can't just ask them out, you have to buy them! Jane's best friend, Egyptia, already owns him and she is enjoying her new toy very much. Consumed by love's fever, Jane sells everything she has and makes promises she can't keep to possess Silver. She leaves her suburban mansion in the clouds for the ancient inner-city slums. Jane and her silver metal lover rent a dingy apartment. Together they scrape for a living and sing for their supper. But people and robots were not meant to be lovers. The powers-that-be are jealous of machine love. Will Jane and Silver escape the robophobe's revenge? Can their flesh and metal union survive the slings and arrows of an intolerant, high-tech world?"--Cover.
