The Lady Under the Lake - Quest Investigations, #3 - E-book - ePub

This client is all wet... After receiving a hot tip on the whereabouts of my almost-boyfriend's nearly-ex-husband (hey, I told you-it's complicated!), I thought my love life was finally coming up for air. But when we stake out the remote lake, it's not the ex who surfaces. It's the Faerie King's long-missing mother (and I mean really long, as in double-digit centuries), and she wants to hire Quest Investigations.
Since one of my bosses is the king's brother, he has a tsunami of.feelings about her as a potential client, and refuses to take the case. Instead, he passes it to me. Yes! However. Should I be thrilled at the vote of confidence or suspicious that he's tossing me in the deep end without a life preserver, the better to punish the woman who abandoned her kid all those years ago? You know what? It doesn't matter.
I may be Quest's token human, but I've proven I can get the job done, so I dive right in. Then the lady explains what she wants me to do: find her missing child. Seriously? I expected more of a challenge. All I have to do is introduce her to the king and bingo, case closed. But when she says, "Not that one, " this little family drama threatens to send ripples throughout the supernatural community-especially with my boss in over his head as the prime suspect in a fae kidnapping. As if things weren't complicated enough.
Remember that nearly-ex? When he shows up and muddies the waters, I'm faced with a choice: I can solve this case or I can finally hook my almost-boyfriend. Dammit. The Lady Under the Lake is the third in the Quest Investigations M/M mystery series, a spinoff of E. J. Russell's Mythmatched paranormal rom-com story world. It contains no on-page sex or violence, and although there is a romantic subplot, it is not a romance.
The series is best read in order.
