A crumbling house, a buried love story, and one dangerously charming handyman…Buying a falling-down Victorian fixer-upper was supposed to be my fresh start.

And someone clearly doesn’t want me digging into the past. The break-ins, the threats, the feeling I’m being watched… this small-town dream is starting to feel more like a nightmare.Riley, the ridiculously handsome handyman, is a welcome distraction—but when the danger starts creeping too close, he might be the only one I can trust.Can we uncover the truth before the past catches up to the present? Or will restoring this house cost me more than just my savings?If you love slow-burn romance, charming small towns, heart-tugging mysteries, and a dash of danger, you’ll fall for Dangerous Deeds—book one in the Westport Romantic Mysteries.
