Flipped

Every house has secrets, some are deadlier than others.

When Jillian McElroy finds herself laid off, recently bereft of her mother, and richer by a hefty inheritance she decides to take her mother’s posthumous advice and follow her dream of renovating and selling houses. But this old house may bring her more than she can handle.

Learning a home’s secrets is always interesting but this one seems determined to keep them at any cost and trouble starts before Jillian puts the key in the door. Just after purchasing the house, she’s nearly run over by an old man that turns out to be the nefarious next-door neighbor and a freak accident causes her contractor to quit. “If these walls could talk, they’d tell you to run,” he said.

Which is exactly what her head tells her when she is forced to hire the only contractor in town available on short notice, notorious womanizer and former would-be flame Nathan Strong. But her heart may have other ideas. The last thing Nathan wants is to be tied down, but Jillian is the one that got away. Could he work out a second shot?

When her sister is kidnapped with a ransom that curiously matches the price she paid for the house, Jillian and Nathan soon find themselves in over their heads and head over heels as they race to find her sister, keep an obsessed old man from destroying her investment, and figure out what makes this particular property such a killer deal.
