The Soulmate Equation

Even though single mother Jess Davis is an expert in data and statistics, no amount of computation can persuade her to resume her dating life. Her mother vanished when she was six years old, her father never showed up, and her ex-husband said he wasn't "father material" before her kid was even born. While Jess clings to her loved ones, she finds that surviving on a continuous basis is difficult—and lonely.

Jess then learns about GeneticAlly, a hot new DNA-based dating service that is expected to revolutionize the dating game. Discovering your soul partner via DNA? The accuracy of numbers Jess recognizes this.

She believed she had everything figured out, until her test revealed an unprecedented 98 percent compatibility with Dr. River Peña, the inventor of GeneticAlly, another patient in the database. Since she is already familiar with Dr. Peña, this is one number she finds difficult to comprehend. She is definitely not meant to be with this stuck-up, obstinate guy. However, GeneticAlly is offering you money if you get to know him. Even though Jess is skeptical about the idea and doesn't like River, she is in no position to turn it down since she is barely making ends meet. Jess starts to suspect that there may be more to the scientist—and the science behind a soulmate—than she had previously realized as the two are dragged from one event to the next as the "Diamond" match that might send GeneticAlly's price skyrocketing.

The Soulmate Equation demonstrates that it is impossible to quantify the delicate balance between destiny and free will.
