Love is like a fine perfume. The top note draws you in, an instant attraction, but the Heart Note is the true essence. Like true love. A great perfume should be a woman´s perfect match. At least, that´s what Lily Lucas tells the perfume counter customers. Personally, Lily is tired of perfumes with a sickly sweet top note that make her dizzy. She definitely does not want to stick her nose in another scent with a base note of stinky old socks. After leaving her home in Sydney for Melbourne, Lily has a new job as a perfume counter manager in a major department store. One day she wants to own a Parisian-style perfumerie, but at the moment she´s spritzing perfume on unsuspecting customers and ringing up purchases until she falls off her high heels at the end of a long day. The high point of Lily´s work life is Christos Cyriakos, the ex-cop senior security guard, who happens to look like a Greek god. She´d happily stare at him all day, but keeps falling at his feet like a klutz. It´s kind of embarrassing. No other man has ever had this effect on her. He smells so good up close, she gets a little woozy. But in a good way. Rumours about Christos swirl around the department store staff. There´s a scent of scandal. The reason he quit the police force wasn´t a happy one. But he´s the strong, silent type. A mystery box. Lily hopes she can get close to him and unwrap him. When he asks for her help, it seems like the perfect opportunity to get to know him better…if she can trust him. It´s almost Christmas and the whole store is bedecked with decorations, and Lily has to gift wrap and sell eleventy billion gift sets assisted by her team of glamorous spritzer chicks. Meanwhile sneaky guys are trying to get into the store room at night and stock is going missing. It could be an inside job. Lily helps Christos setup a sting. They are a team, sort of. But why won´t he confide in her? She´d like to be kissed by Christos (and more) preferably not while wearing the hideous red velvet onesie and reindeer antlers all the spritzer chicks are supposed to wear. But can they solve a crime, and get it together to go on an actual date by Christmas? Love is like a fine perfume. The top note draws you in, an instant attraction, but the Heart Note is the true essence. Like true love. A great perfume should be a woman´s perfect match. At least, that´s what Lily Lucas tells the perfume counter customers. Personally, Lily is tired of perfumes with a sickly sweet top note that make her dizzy. She definitely does not want to stick her nose in another scent with a base note of stinky old socks. After leaving her home in Sydney for Melbourne, Lily E-Book, Cassandra O´Leary<
