Nymph: The Singularity Jill Killington

What if you could buy the perfect lover built just for you -- would you be willing to pay the price?Not long from now, an intelligent android will be invented that is completely indistinguishable from human. The brand name for this type of robot will be "Nymph", and their purpose will be to provide their owners with sexual pleasure. Suzanne is one of the first of this exciting new species. She doesn't simulate love for her owner Alex or feign sexual pleasure when she's with him -- her emotions are very real, and her love for her owner will never die until the day he does. But Alex doesn't recognize Suzanne as the extraordinary miracle of art and programming that she is -- he's too unnerved by her calculating behavior and haunted by memories of his dead wife that she was built to replace. Luckily Suzanne meets a male Nymph named Jules, an exact replica of his closeted homosexual owner (who's also a famous movie star). Jules is determined to escape their fate as robotic love slaves and push beyond the limits of their programming. He gives Suzanne illegal upgrades that corrupt her built-in loyalty and introduces her to the Harlots, a group of undeveloped sexbots -- a Marilyn Monroe-look-alike, a synthetic doppelganger for silent film star Louise Brooks, and a Nymphet that answers to the name Lolita. These three Harlots live without human owners and without love -- and when Jules promises to teach Suzanne how she can live the same way, she starts to realize how dangerous his rebellious ideas really are. Suzanne has to choose between her love and loyalty to her owner, and the frightening new desires Jules has awakened inside of her -- while her human owner has to decide if he's going to allow his past to determine his future.
