The perfect partner doesn’t exist. Create one. Successful inventor Xander Manning has spent years of his life building a companion that will cater to your every desire. It’s just a shame he hasn’t acknowledged the emotional toll it’s taken on his wife. She's going to leave him just as his career is about to explode. As if by fate, single mother Chloe Armstrong enters Xander’s life and turns his world upside down. Half his age, the beautiful and confident Chloe possesses an uncanny ability to melt his heart. Their inevitable affair could spell the end of Xander’s outlook on love—possibly for the better. But Chloe’s real motives become the stuff of shocking rumors among Xander’s friends and colleagues. Something isn’t quite right about her, not that he can see it. He knows love is blind, and that humans – us simple machines – need only love to survive. Now, Xander is about to gamble his entire life on Chloe... and if doesn't pay off, his company and those closest to him will be destroyed forever... Fans of Lee Child, Gayle Curtis, Jess Lourey, Dean Koontz, and Gregg Olsen will never forget Simple Machines—a modern-day suspense thriller from best-selling author Andrew Mackay. Get your copy now.
