Fatal Fixer-Upper

First in a series about a designer--and a handsome handyman--tackling fixer upper homes and mysterious murders. A must-read for lovers of HGTV's home renovation shows.

To Avery Baker, the idea of preparing her aunt's crumbling and cluttered home for sale is overwhelming. So when someone offers to buy the place as is, Avery's relieved. Until she learns it's worth more than she thought--that is, with a few repairs here and there...

With help from hunky handyman Derek Ellis, Avery starts learning the ABC's of DIY. But when a designer-turned-renovator finds clues that lead to a missing local professor and then her own life is threatened, Avery wonders if she can finish the house--without getting finished off in the process.
