A Sinister Sign - The Westport Romantic Mysteries – Prequel Novella

🏚️ One impulsive decision.
🔑 One house she shouldn’t want.
⚠️ And the first sign that Westport won’t let her go quietly.

A Sinister Sign is a prequel novella in The Westport Romantic Mysteries, set before Lizzie’s story begins in Dangerous Deeds.

Moving back to Westport was supposed to be good for Lizzie.
Being closer to family. Slowing down. Finding her feet again.

Instead, she’s sharing a house with Grandma — who’s claimed Lizzie’s childhood bedroom — and realising she needs her own place. Quickly.

That’s when she finds it.

A lonely, run-down Victorian in desperate need of love. The kind of house that tugs at your heart before common sense can step in. Lizzie falls for it instantly… even though she’s not the only one who wants it.

The auction turns tense.
The competition turns ugly.
And soon there are deadly accidents, missing real estate agents, and a stranger who sends a chill straight down her spine.

Every sign tells Lizzie to walk away.

Instead, she digs in — determined to win the house and survive long enough to enjoy it.

If only it were that simple.
