Falling in love wasn't on the curriculum...

Lila Cartwright is thriving after dumping her toxic ex—well, mostly. That is, until she bumps into him and his new girlfriend, forcing her to grab the nearest man and introduce him as her boyfriend. Unfortunately, that man is her infuriatingly moody (yet undeniably attractive) colleague, Rhys Aubrey.

Rhys isn't Lila's biggest fan either, but when he needs to convince his family that he's excelling in both work and love, striking a deal with her suddenly makes sense. As their fake relationship unfolds, the lines between pretence and reality blur. Can they keep up the act, or is there something real beneath the rivalry?

Praise for Carbon Dating:

'Nate and Laurel will dig their way into your heart and leave you breathless. A must read!' Ally Wiegand, author of First Base

'A laugh-out-loud, forced proximity romance that also delivers on the swoons and spice.' Georgia Moore, author of Four Night Stand

'I came for the hot British archaeologist, but stayed for the strong female main character. I couldn't put it down.' Leonie Mack, author of In Italy for Love
