A Stranger's House (The Nate and Ruby Mysteries #1)
Overview
I needed a fresh start — not another nightmare.
House-sitting at River House is supposed to be my chance to disappear for a while. Follow the owner’s rules, keep out of sight, put my life back together. But from the moment I step inside Damien Newbold’s old Cambridge townhouse, something feels off. Footsteps at night. Moved objects. A feeling that someone else is here.
Then Damien is found dead.
Someone knows I’m alone in his house. Someone wants me gone. Or worse.
Nate Bastable — the former private investigator who hired me — shows up the moment things start to unravel. He’s calm, steady, impossible to read . . . and far too good at seeing through me. I should keep my distance, but every time he’s close, my guard slips. And every time he pulls away, I want to know why.
But Nate has scars he won’t talk about. Secrets he keeps hidden behind that quiet smile. And not everyone believes he’s as safe as I want him to be.
As the threats escalate and the lies tighten around me, one thing becomes brutally
The most dangerous person isn’t out on the Common . . . they’re already inside River House.
Perfect for fans of C.L. Taylor, Shalini Boland and Rachel Abbott.
