with strong romantic elements.

Here’s the story blurb:
In a futuristic world where personalities can be downloaded at will, who's a girl to trust?Wills Ryder, brother to Nicholle Ryder and heir to a global wireless hologram company, is conducting his own Phase 1 clinical trials on unsuspecting victims to upload their personalities to a quantum computer and download them into other bodies. But after Wills has a fight with his father, Geren, over a recently discovered half-brother, Geren falls into a coma and Wills leaves town.Upon hearing the news of her father’s illness, Nicholle is compelled to leave her job as a museum curator and head up the family hologram company after learning Wills also stole $500 billion of corporate money.But when the bodyguard assigned to Nicholle tries to kill her, and the company vice president locks her bank accounts, she has to turn to her gang leader ex for help. The only problem is she embezzled money from him before she sobered up and neglected to perform Step 9—“Made direct amends”—of her 12-Step Program.With time running out to save her father from Wills’ experiment and keep the family business from going under, Nicholle must perform a death-defying act to appease her ex, dodge a government agent pursuing her, and enlist a reluctant ally for her cause. But help and attraction come from an unlikely source, while current events shed light on an unsolved mystery from her past.
