Mischief & Mayhem: A Romance
by Brooke St. James
Zeke Tanner was my childhood crush, but over a decade had passed since I'd last seen him. For many years I had done my best to avoid him and the entire Tanner family. The circumstances that caused me to keep my distance were entirely my fault, but the sheer mention of the Tanner family still filled me with waves of dread. Thankfully, Lexington was a large city and I never had to encounter them.
That would all change though. One minute I was happily working as a pastry chef and the next I was dealing with an order for the Tanner family. All those feelings of regret came rushing back as I wrote "Happy Birthday Zeke" on the cake. I thought I could simply hide in the back of the bakery and escape an encounter with them. Fortunately for me, things didn't play out like I expected.
