Home is where the telltale heart is.... Winning an historic home flip should be Liza’s big break. Partnering with charismatic literature professor Freddie Calloway makes financing easy. But as they renovate, Freddie’s “immersive research” spirals: antique lanterns only, corseted dress rehearsals, and a cellar alcove that must be sealed until not a whisper escapes. At first Liza laughs off the theatrics. Until Freddie insists they work on the brick wall in the cellar, smiling as though he already knows which of them will end up on the wrong side of it. As the final brick slots into place, Liza accepts the brutal truth—this flip was never meant to hit the market, only the headlines. undefined
