Perfection comes at a price.
As soon as the government passed legislation allowing humans to be genetically engineered and sold as pets, the rich and powerful rushed to own beautiful girls like Ella. Trained from birth to be graceful, demure, and above all, perfect, these “family companions” enter their masters’ homes prepared to live a life of idle luxury.
Ella is happy with her new role as playmate for a congressman’s bubbly young daughter, but she doesn’t expect Penn, the congressman’s handsome and rebellious son. He’s the only person who sees beyond the perfect exterior to the girl within. Falling for him goes against every rule she knows… and the freedom she finds with him is intoxicating.
But when Ella is kidnapped and thrust into the dark underworld lurking beneath her pampered life, she’s faced with an unthinkable choice. Because the only thing more dangerous than staying with Penn’s family is leaving… and if she’s unsuccessful, she’ll face a fate far worse than death.
For fans of Kiera Cass’ Selection series and Lauren DeStefano’s Chemical Garden series, Perfected is a chilling look at what it means to be human, and a stunning celebration of the power of love to set us free, wrapped in a glamorous—and dangerous—bow.

Excerpt
from Perfected:
“Remember…
You’ll never be one of them,” Miss Gellner said, re-positioning each of us on our divans in the sitting room so our gowns draped
elegantly around our crossed ankles.
She stepped back and
gazed at the group of us, her face pinched and stern like always, but
I spotted a tiny glimmer of pride behind her rheumy eyes. Twenty
girls: lovely, demure, quiet. She was pleased with us, even if she
wouldn’t say it out loud.
Miss Gellner
blinked, as if bringing herself back to the moment. “Things won’t
change once you leave here,” she went on. “Simply because you’ll
be pampered and spoiled, your life’s mission won’t suddenly be
any different. Remember that. Your sole
purpose
is to enrich the lives of your new owners.”
