Description

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. Sure, I had no renovation skills, no budget to speak of, and no idea what I was doing—but I also wasn't expecting to uncover a hidden cache of love letters and an antique engagement ring buried beneath the attic floorboards.

Now, with a grumpy cat who's adopted me, a town full of nosy neighbors, and a handyman who looks like he belongs on the cover of a romance novel, my "simple" renovation is turning into something much more complicated.

The letters whisper of a forbidden romance that ended in heartbreak—and maybe something worse. 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.

    At first I was shocked at the explicit sexual descriptions but bare in mind I am 85 years old. Other than that I enjoyed the plot and characters.

    The female protagonist is as dense as a box of rocks for multiple reasons. I wanted to slap her upside the head for allowing her alleged boyfriend to demean her and telling her to lose weight constantly, yet she just let him treat her like a doormat while he was having an affair. She couldn’t figure out she had a stalker, even though the signs were obvious, and she made one bad decision after another. I couldn’t wait to finish the book, and certainly won’t be reading the next in this series.

    I loved the characters. Each evolved through the story unfolding gently and complete. There were ample twists and turns to always keep me guessing as to what was happening next. Couldn’t put this one down. This book speaks love and acceptance, thank you for writing such a wonderful story
