Emily Garland is getting married and looking for the perfect forever home. When the old, and some say haunted, Hadley house comes up for sale, she’s convinced it’s “the one.” The house is also perfect for reality TV star Miles Pemberton and his new series, House Haunters. Emily will fight for her dream home, but Pemberton’s pockets are deeper than Emily’s, and he’ll stretch the rules to get what he wants.
While Pemberton racks up enemies all around Lount’s Landing, Arabella Carpenter, Emily’s partner at the Glass Dolphin antiques shop, has been hired to appraise the contents of the estate, along with her ex-husband, Levon. Could the feuding beneficiaries decide there’s a conflict of interest? Could Pemberton?
Things get even more complicated when Arabella and Levon discover another will hidden inside the house, and with it, a decades-old secret. Can the property stay on the market? And if so, who will make the winning offer: Emily or Miles Pemberton?
Read an Excerpt
Arabella Carpenter wasn’t sure if holding an Appraisal Day at the Glass Dolphin was a good idea, but it had gone off without a hitch, even if there hadn’t been any Antiques Roadshow moments. The day went quickly, the last man and his vintage postcard collection had left five minutes earlier, and with one exception, everyone else, was long gone.
The exception was an attractive woman in her late twenties who’d been there since late morning, a canvas bag cradled in her hands. Her hair was long, wavy, and dyed cherry bomb red, a color that shouldn’t have worked with her pale complexion but did. A tattoo of a turquoise-feathered dreamcatcher flowed from mid-thigh to above the knee, a black leather mini dress and leopard print stiletto heels showcasing her well-toned legs.
The woman had watched and listened to every appraisal with unabashed curiosity, her dark eyes taking in every last detail. At first the attention had been flattering, but as the day wore on, it bothered Arabella. There was a hard edge to her, an undercurrent of something Arabella couldn’t quite identify, and wasn’t sure she’d want to. Her inner instinct told her you wouldn’t want to be on the wrong side of this one.
And her inner instinct was seldom wrong.
