The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid
3.0

Nemesis is a Diabolic, and Diabolics do not feel. Or at least they shouldn't, but when Nemesis is sent to the heart of the Empire, her entire world changes. Betrayal lurks around every corner, and she must be careful to keep her identity -and true nature- a secret. All Diabolics were supposed to have been eliminated, she should not be alive. She also certainly should not be impersonating a senator's daughter, and yet...there she is. Out of duty, and out of love.

As the tale weaves on Nemesis becomes much more human, and rejects these feelings as they appear, believing her humanity to be impossible. It is what she has been told her entire life after all. Yet maybe there is more to Diabolics, and to Nemesis, than that. As the stakes grow ever higher and old faces re-enter Nemesis' life, her choices become that much less clear and when a man enters the equation... well, she can't feel love and compassion as humans can. Can she?

As the fight for her life and the future of the Empire begins in earnest, Nemesis must ask difficult questions about who she is, and what she has the potential to become.
