Tropes: Opposites Attract ● Forced Proximity ● Cozy Mystery

"I truly believe she is one of the best romance authors I’ve discovered this year—indie and non indie authors." -Goodreads

A winning lottery ticket.

A threatening message.

A…catnapping?

Hazel Jacobs is a self-proclaimed hot mess. She’ll be the first to tell you she’s not the tidiest person or the most responsible, and sure, maybe she is all over the place. But for the most part, she’s kept it together.

Until now.

Now her life is officially in shambles. Just when she thought her luck was finally turning around, boom. She’s being blackmailed. All feels hopeless until she meets Reid Mitchell.

Reid loves a routine, is a tiny bit uptight, and has been known to obsessively color-code his fridge. Oh, and he also has a small internet sleuthing hobby. When his sister asks him to help her coworker, Hazel, with a mess she’s found herself in, he can’t say no. He’s a people pleaser at heart, and hates seeing anyone in distress.

Despite Hazel overwhelming him at first, the more he gets to know her, the more he comes to realize that letting her down is not an option for him.

So the two become unlikely comrades in solving this crime. Searching for clues. A botched stakeout. Will they be able to figure this out? Or will the growing attraction between them become too distracting…

Authors note: Absolutely no cats come to harm or even experience an ounce of discomfort throughout this book.
