The Alice Equation by Davina Stone

The Alice Equation - Sometimes love is complicated

Alice Montgomery's life is like Groundhog Day. Five years after graduating, she's still working in her mum's bookshop, hiding her stash of romance novels under the bed and pining for the gorgeous guy who helped her over a panic attack before her final uni exam.

Aaron Blake loves to party-hard. His idea of commitment to anything other than his legal career is strictly three months. Until landing a job with the most prestigious-but conservative-law firm in town means he has to convince the partners he's deeply committed to family values.

Aaron needs a fake date fast-and who could be safer than his bookish friend Alice?

Soon Alice finds herself dating her secret crush, sporting a daring new look of vintage frocks and itsy-bitsy lace lingerie.

Now the heat is notching up. Aaron's feelings for his fake date are proving anything but safe, and Alice is discovering her inner sex-goddess.

But when secrets are revealed and lies uncovered, both Alice and Aaron will have to work out the hardest equation of all... what this crazy thing called loved is all about.
