Neon Ghost: Level Zero

Cold steel pressed against Lex Quinn's skull as the City System declared her dead. She should have been erased. Instead, a system glitch dropped her to Level Zero and left her ghost-tagged, able to hack any body, lock, or machine. The executioner sent to delete her, Cael Draven, is now forcibly bound to her survival. He needs her impossible power. She needs the cold-blooded Adjudicator's protection. Every touch lets their thoughts bleed together, turning enemies into something far more dangerous. They flee through corporate kill zones, gang territory, and a city ruled by a failing AI. But when the safehouse door opens, a dead man smiles at Lex and calls her by the name she buried. Someone engineered her death. Someone wants her ghost access. And Cael may know more than he admits. Now Lex must choose: trust the man controlling her heartbeat, or let the city erase her for real.
