title: The Trouble With Mystery
author: Crebs, A.R.
description: After a divorce and escaping her small hometown to live in the big city, Zoey finds that relationships aren't her thing. While having some drinks with her coworker and best friend, Liam, he once again brings up interest in pushing their friendship to the next level. At first, Zoey disagrees with the prospect of dating until she comes up with a plan. Under the guise of someone mysterious, Liam can participate in a fun, sexual game with her. The only stipulation is, they must keep their sex life private from their real lives, and Liam must remain in character while they play Codename: Mystery. Things start out steamy; however, questions form about the character named Mysterious and Liam's actions while in and out of the bedroom. Is Liam really as he seems or is there something darker about the mysterious figure that visits Zoey at night? Things take a turn for the worst as jealousy makes this innocent game a lot more dangerous than initially planned.
