Grimstone: A Romantic Thriller (Grimstone, 1)- Sophie Lark

Remi Hayes is beginning to think she's cursed―her fiancé cheated on her, her brother Jude is a major pain in her ass, and the moldering mansion she inherited from her uncle might just be haunted.

Flipping Blackleaf Manor already feels impossible, even before Remi is blackmailed by Dane Covett, the dangerously hot doctor-next-door, and Grimstone's most eligible bachelor―if you can ignore the fact that everyone in town thinks he murdered his wife.

Remi doesn't want to believe it, especially after Dane sews up a gash in her thigh and steals a kiss in payment―a kiss that makes it hard to walk for reasons that have nothing to do with an injured leg.

But as the renovation takes a strange and violent turn, Remi must decide if Dane is the one haunting her nights, or if he's trying to protect her from something much worse…
