Aurora ”Roe” Teagarden förbereder sig för sitt stundande bröllop med stilige Martin Bartell. I bröllopsgåva köper Martin hennes drömhus: Julius-huset. Roe har alltid varit fascinerad av dess historia: sex år tidigare försvann familjen som bodde där, och sågs aldrig igen...

Aurora ”Roe” Teagarden trodde hon hade sett det mesta–tills en hantverkare plötsligt började dansa naken i hennes trädgård och misstänker att det kan vara ett dåligt omen. Kanske väntar något runt hörnet? Och visst fick hon rätt–med råge. Regina, Martins dramatiska systerdotter, dyker upp med en bebis på höften, ett mystiskt leende och noll förklaringar. Innan någon hinner säga ”barnvakt”, hittas Reginas make mördad, och Regina själv är puts väck. Kvar blir ett spädbarn, en rejäl bunt pengar och en massa obesvarade frågor.

Efter att ha ärvt en blygsam förmögenhet bestämmer sig Aurora "Roe" Teagarden för att prova på fastighetsmäkleri och börjar arbeta på sin mammas mäklarbyrå. Hennes första uppdrag är att visa ett lokalt slott för den stilige nykomlingen Martin Bartell.
