Single mother Jess Davis works wonders with data and statistics. But no numbers can convince her to return to the dating world. Raised by her grandparents, who also now help raise her seven-year-old daughter Juno, Jess has too often been neglected by those close to her and is now uncomfortable trying to let anyone into her life. After all, her father was never around, her party girl mother disappeared when she was six, and her ex decided he "wasn't ready to be a father" before Juno was born. Jess cares deeply for her loved ones, but constantly trying to stay afloat makes life so difficult...and lonely. But one day, Jess learns about GeneticAlly, a buzzy new DNA-based matchmaking company that is predicted to change dating forever. Find your soulmate using DNA? Reliability of numbers: Jess understands this. At least that's what she thought, until her test showed an unheard-of 98 percent match with another person in the database: Genetic founder Dr. River Peña. And this is the case when it is difficult for her to understand the situation, because she is already familiar with Dr. Pena. This arrogant, stubborn man could, without a doubt, be her soulmate. But GeneticAlly has an offer: try to get to know each other better, and we'll pay you. Jess, who is struggling to make ends meet, is unable to refuse this, despite her skepticism about the project and especially her dislike of River. As the couple attends one event after another, earning the title of "Diamond" Couple, and having the power to influence the price of GeneticAlly's stock, Jess begins to realize that there is something about the scientist—and the science behind finding your soulmate. more than she previously thought. Funny, warm, and full of tenderness, The Lovers' Equation proves that the delicate balance between fate and personal choice cannot be calculated.
