Cyborgs don’t lie. They’re manufactured to always tell the truth. They might not answer but when they do, you know you’ll hear the real deal.
Mira, the heroine of Breathing Vapor, lies. About everything. (This drives Vapor, her truth telling cyborg hero, crazy.) Yes, she’s living a double life—appearing like a super bitch, a member of the Humanoid Alliance condescending elite, while secretly helping children at risk. That’s one major reason why she lies.
But it’s more than that. Mira feels that sharing the truth with another being gives him/her power over her. It’s an act of trust and she doesn’t trust anyone. Lies are safer. Lies, she can manipulate. She can reveal only what she wants others to see.
We all lie, maybe not to extent Mira does, but we all tell little white lies. Someone asks, “How are you?” We know they don’t truly care about the answer so, in the interest of politeness, we say, “Fine” even if we aren’t. We tell loved ones that everything will be okay when we’re not certain it will be. A buddy comes to us because she needs our help and when she asks if we’re busy, we tell her we aren’t when we’re, in fact, extremely busy. These little white lies are okay because they don’t seem to hurt anyone.
Many of us know that the big lies aren’t okay. Lies that put someone else in prison or physically hurt someone or cause huge lasting damage aren’t morally acceptable in today’s society.
It is the in between lies that cause us problems. A writing buddy asks us if we liked her book. We didn’t. Do we tell her that we liked it? (Because we all know what the next step will be. She’ll ask us to leave a review.) We miss the deadline for a job we really want but we hear the company has had system problems. Do we blame these problems for the lateness? Ask two people if these lies are okay and you’re likely to get two different answers.
Where do you draw the line with lying? Could you love someone who draws the line in a very different place?

Vapor is the most advanced cyborg the Humanoid Alliance has ever developed. He’s a finely honed weapon, a warrior without parallel, half man and half machine. No lock can contain him. No being can stop him. Whatever he wants, he takes.
He wants Mira Breazeal, the Designer’s daughter.
She’s his one temptation, his sexy target. Vapor shouldn’t crave her caresses, steal her kisses, make her scream with ecstasy. The cyborgs want her dead and they would question his loyalty if he didn’t kill her. The humans would shoot him on sight if he dared to touch her.
Their love is forbidden. Their desire could be lethal. One human and one cyborg will risk everything for a moment of passion.
