Inhalt: In the seaside town of Lighthouse Cove in northern California, everyone knows the best man for the job is actually a woman-contractor Shannon Hammer. But while her home-renovation and repair business is booming, but her love life needs work. On a blind date with real estate agent Jerry Saxton, Shannon has to whip out a pair of pliers to keep Jerry from getting too hands on. She's happy to put her rotten date behind her, but when Jerry's found dead in a run-down Victorian home that she's been hired to restore, the town's attractive new police chief suspects that her threats may have laid the foundation for murder.

But as they get closer to prying out the murderer's identity, Shannon is viciously attacked. Now she'll have to nail down the truth-or end up in permanent foreclosure...

Someone suggests that a thief was searching for a priceless necklace Jesse claimed to have retrieved from a capsized sailing ship, but Shannon doesn't believe it. Everyone knows Jesse had a penchant for constructing tall tales-like the one about him having a hot new girlfriend. But his death is soon ruled a homicide, and shady suspects begin popping out of the woodwork.
