The first in the Elsie Hawkins series blending the charm of Stephanie Plum with a witty romance where opposites attract, featuring a mysterious woman, a carpenter hero, laugh-out-loud moments, and irresistible chemistry from # 1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich.
For months heâd thought of her as a mystery woman, draped in a black velvet cloak, with outrageous red curls, flawless skin, and carrying a large, odd caseâbut the night David Dodd saw a helicopter drop a chunk of metal through the roof of his lovely neighborâs bedroom, he finally got to meet the formidable and delightful Katherine Finn. Rescuing damsels and fixing roofs was dangerous work, he told her, and at the very least he deserved a kissâdidnât he?
Kate couldnât argue with Daveâs logic, but how could she, the driven concert musician with more commitments than hours in the day, be falling head over heels for a likeable cuddler who seemed to be drifting through life? No one had ever made her feel as cherished or desirable, and sheâd never had so much fun, but even though her eccentric boarder, Elsie, assured her that where Kate was concerned Dave had plenty of ambition, could she really love a guy who was just smart, sexy, and rich?
