The Best Kind Of Mistake
Jasmin Miller - 2019
It's pretty obvious what's happening behind those doors, which is even more frustrating when you aren't getting any action yourself. To make matters worse, I got fired from my job, and my savings account is pathetic. That means I can't eat my body weight in donuts, even if I wanted to...and I really want to. Thanks to my sister, though, I have a new work opportunity lined up, and I promised myself I wouldn't do anything to lose this one. Until I realize my new boss, Logan, is none other than my sex god of a neighbor. Keeping my ever-growing attraction to him in check proves to be a lot harder than I thought, especially with my knowledge of his extracurricular activities. When my new job as his photography assistant keeps throwing us together--sometimes completely eliminating our personal space--I find it more and more difficult to remember why I'm supposed to stay away from him. Hi, I'm Ember Keaton, and I suck at adulting. The Best Kind Of Mistake is a fun, sweet, and romantic standalone novella with a HEA.
