Throwback Thursday – Ghost Of A Machine

By Cynthia Sax on February 19, 2026

Ghost is one of my all time favorite heroes. This C Model Cyborg with a special gift (he would call it a curse) is severely broken.

When Lethe, the human heroine, meets up with him other beings might say he’s beyond saving. He’s violent and non-verbal and operating on a pure primitive instincts.

Those instincts are telling him to protect Lethe, claim her, never let her go.

Fragile. Stubborn. His.

Ghost, a C Model cyborg, has disconnected his machine from his human side. Severely damaged, he knows two things—the curvy human female on his ship belongs to him and he must keep her safe. He’ll stop at nothing to protect her, claim her, make her his.

Primitive. Damaged. Hers.

Lethe has seen the savage side of beings. The courageous Rebel captain has never met a male like Ghost. Overpoweringly dominant, he appeals to her on a primal level, filling her mind with thoughts of sweet surrender, hard kisses, and body-heating encounters against the warship’s walls.

They are two broken beings, one determined to protect, the other intent on flying into danger. Can love heal them both before they face their common enemy?

Ghost Of A Machine is Book 9 in the Cyborg Sizzle series and is a STAND-ALONE story.
It is also a BBW Cyborg SciFi Romance.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – August 31

By Cynthia Sax on August 31, 2025

Moonbeam, the first collection of two previously published alien romances set in the very real town of Moonbeam, Ontario, has released! Woot! I love these stories. That’s why I rereleased them. And I hope you’ll love them also, my friends!

I continue to have massive amounts of fun with my special writing project.

(smiles)

I’m almost done the first novella in it.

But I plan to delay publishing until I have at least four novellas done.

That will give me more flexibility with the plot and with the character development. And it will allow me to set a fairly rapid release schedule.

I like that.

(grins)

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) If you can, do things at a speed YOU feel comfortable with. Your life will be much more relaxed and happy. And you deserve happiness. (more hugs)

Throwback Thursday – Ghost Of A Machine

By Cynthia Sax on May 8, 2025

What happens to a caring empathic being when they are forced to do horrible, horrible things over and over again?

They break.

And that is what happened to Ghost, the cyborg hero of Ghost Of A Machine. He is, by far, the most broken hero I’ve ever written. When he meets Lethe, his genetic match, he is completely feral.

Lethe is human and, when compared to a cyborg, extremely fragile. But she isn’t daunted by Ghost’s wildness.

Because she’s a little bit broken herself.

As we all are.

Throwback Thursday – Ghost Of A Machine

By Cynthia Sax on August 8, 2024

I LOVE broken heroes – both reading stories featuring them and writing stories featuring them.

And Ghost is one of the most broken heroes I’ve ever encountered. He makes Rage from Releasing Rage look well adjusted. (grins)

He is also super protective of other cyborgs’ females and of his own and…well…of anyone innocent and/or kind.

Throwback Thursday – Ghost Of A Machine

By Cynthia Sax on November 30, 2023

Ghost is, without question, my most broken cyborg hero.

When Lethe, his female, meets him, he is absolutely feral. He isn’t processing anything other than to kill…and her. She is the only being who can reach him. She is the only being he would never damage.

And she is the only being who truly understands him.

Because she’s a bit broken also. (As many of us are.)

By Cynthia Sax on April 27, 2023

If you love broken heroes, you’ll love Ghost Of A Machine.

Ghost is the most damaged cyborg warrior I’ve ever encountered. When he meets his female, he is basically feral. He’s a killing machine. Literally. And only she can stop him.

Lethe is likely the only being in the universe who truly understands him. She has survived horrific things also. And she needs Ghost as much as he needs her.

I love these two beings and I love this story!

Throwback Thursday – Ghost Of A Machine

By Cynthia Sax on September 22, 2022

Ghost is one of my favorite cyborgs. He is so very broken. His ‘gift’, when we first meet him, has become a curse. He is haunted by all the beings he hasn’t been able to save. The emotional damage that has caused him has turned him into a beast, operating on instinct alone.

Lethe, his female, is the only being who can reach his shattered brain and disconnected processors. She is attracted to him, of course. Who wouldn’t be? (grins) But she also wants the ship he has ‘captured.’

Lethe and Ghost are magical together. The pain they’ve both endured makes their bond even tighter.

Throwback Thursday – Ghost Of A Machine

By Cynthia Sax on March 24, 2022

I have a weakness for broken romance heroes and Ghost, the hero of Ghost Of A Machine, is the most damaged hero I’ve ever had the opportunity to write. When we first meet him, the huge C Model has completely disconnected his human side from his machine side. He doesn’t speak, barely understands communications. He is in a bad, bad way.

Only Lethe, his genetic match, his little human female, can reach him. She is the sole reason he now fights for survival. He will do anything for her.

Ghost is one of my all time favorite cyborgs. He has been through so much. He tried to save beings and failed to do so and that broke him emotionally. This cyborg warrior is dealing with tremendous trauma and stars, that pulls on my heart.

Lethe knows about being broken. She has dealt with harshness and is strong enough to stand toe-to-toe with Ghost’s inner demons.

The two of them are magical together.

Ghost and Lethe appear in the Rebel Cyborgs series. If you want to know more about Cadet, consider reading Ghost Of A Machine.

If you plan to re-read previous stories as we wait for Containing Malice to release, I strongly suggest you consider re-reading Ghost Of A Machine.

Why?

Because Ghost and Lethe make a brief appearance in Containing Malice. Some reading buddies (you know who you are – grins) have been requesting updates on this couple. Those reading buddies will likely be VERY happy with this upcoming series as Ghost and Lethe are referenced to or make an appearance in almost all of the stories. They are key to the development of a certain character.

Ghost and Lethe will also appear in many of the newsletter updates so you might wish to subscribe to my newsletter if you haven’t already done so.
