Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake by Mazey Eddings

Lizzie has made endless mistakes. Kitchen fires, pyramid schemes, bangs (of the hair and human variety), you name it, she’s done it… and made a mess of it too. One mistake she’s never made is letting anyone get closer to her than a single hook-up. But after losing yet another bakery job due to her uncontrolled ADHD, she breaks her cardinal rule and has a two-night stand that changes everything.

For two nights, that is… Read more.

But when her eldest sister, Grey, goes missing under suspicious circumstances, Iris learns just how weird her life can get: horned men start shadowing her, a corpse falls out of her sister’s ceiling, and ugly, impossible memories start to twist their way to the forefront of… Read more.

Too bad my biggest problem is the one thing I don’t want to go away: Diplomatic Security Agent Davis Ethan. When Davis caught me breaking into a safe during job #2, I should have ended up in jail. instead, I ended up in his bed.
