About the Book

Nina Jacobs has built her career making dangerous things sound safe.

At Panopteia, the world’s most powerful technology company, she makes their most invasive technology sound like care: prediction becomes protection, surveillance becomes safety. The future becomes something people are grateful to surrender to.

Then she catches the attention of Vincent Stone, the brilliant engineer who notices her and turns that same precision on her. He is brilliant, powerful, and dangerous in the quietest possible way. He knows what she wants and makes surrendering to him feel like relief. Precise. Inevitable. Almost beautifully managed.

But Panopteia is built on the belief that people are patterns, and patterns can be predicted. As Nina is drawn deeper into Vincent’s world, her body, behavior, and choices become part of the machine she helped sell.

And the closer she gets to Vincent, the harder it becomes to tell whether she is choosing the life she wants, or whether the life she wants has been choosing her all along.

Highly Compatible is a sensual near-future romance about ambition, obsession, corporate power, and the dangerous pleasure of being known too well.
