The house on Apple Hill Lane
(Book)

Looking to reinvent herself, Quinn Whittle is ready for a fresh start in a new neighborhood. On a tight budget, she's thrilled to discover a charming fixer-upper and jumps to make an offer. But it isn't until after she's signed the paperwork that she learns there's more to the foreclosure than a few loose floorboards... Annette Best owns Best on the Block realty, but the business is struggling. Then a new face comes to town, and Annette sees an opportunity to save her company... as long as no one finds out about the history of Apple Hill Lane. Judith Banks is freshly single but too fed up to date. Or so she thinks. Then a new neighbor moves in on her street, and brings with her a team of pros--electricians and plumbers and all the sorts of men Judith never expected to find attractive. Soon enough, she's drawn to one particular worker, someone who happens to know about the house's storied history. Beverly Castle had it all. Now she's lost it all, and the only thing keeping her going is her job with the Harbor Herald. She needs something else: a good friend. When the arrival of a new neighbor inspires her to investigate, she finds that she isn't the only one curious about the house on Apple Hill... or the woman who now lives there.
