hi, I am Lucie Benton
I write about power, intelligence, and desire without apology.
My work explores the tension between loyalty and self respect, and what happens when a woman finally chooses herself.
King Of AI: An Enemies to Lovers Romance
King of AI is not a story about technology.
It is about what happens when a woman comes face to face with a man who understands systems better than people and begins to realize she has been living inside one.
He is her fiancé’s rival.
Known as the King of Artificial Intelligence.
The one man who does not try to define her.
What follows is not a romance built on safety, but on clarity. A reckoning with desire, ambition, and the quiet ways women are taught to betray themselves long before love ever enters the room.
You will love this book if you are drawn to stories that explore:
• Enemies to lovers built on intellect, restraint, and tension
• Power dynamics where intelligence is more seductive than dominance
• Women who stop confusing loyalty with love
• Slow burn desire that unfolds through clarity, not chaos
• Emotionally complex men who do not offer easy answers
• Romance that feels unsettling in the best possible way
What readers are saying
The heroine is such a relatable character. It’s easy to want to see her growth throughout the story, and I found my heart strings tugged by what she goes through. I felt all the feels with this one.
Sara, Goodreads
The slow burn with Alex is delicious—particularly the tension at the fire pit and that phone call scene (whew!).
Darci, Editor feedback
This book took me on a rollercoaster — I was constantly on edge. I can’t wait for the final installment. I need to know what happens next.
