The Man, the Alien, and the AI

This is the story of a young woman who comes across an extraterrestrial AI. The AI's entire function is to slowly rewrite the mind of whoever it has bonded to. The only ones who could separate them are on a distant planet called Valley 7. Now this woman must get to Valley 7 and separate the AI from her mind. But the AI seems to have become quite intrigued with her. And there's that dashing alien rogue hunting her down. And their childhood friend who keeps following her everywhere. What a mess she's gotten herself in to!
