I didn’t plan on coming home at forty-three. And I definitely didn’t plan on letting the wrong man into our house.
Newly divorced, unemployed, and out of options, moving back into my childhood home was supposed to be temporary—just long enough to get back on my feet and take care of my mother.
But the house had problems I couldn’t fix. So I hired a handyman who said he could.
Lance Cutler arrived with confidence, charm, and every solution we needed. My mother welcomed him like a gift sent straight from heaven. And I wanted to believe that, too. I really did.
But the longer he stayed, the less safe our home felt.
The way he looks at me. The way he moves through the house like he belongs there. The day I realized someone had been through my underwear drawer…
That’s when I knew I’d made a mistake.
Now I’m trying to figure out whether I’m imagining things—or whether I’ve invited something dangerous into our lives.
And if I have…how do I get him out?
If you enjoy tense, twisty domestic thrillers where danger moves in quietly and home no longer feels safe, The Handyman will pull you in and refuse to let go until the final, stunning page.
