You can't build a future without understanding your past especially when that past is hidden behind a brick wall.
Elara's restoration of Blackwood Manor is heating up as she and her ruggedly handsome contractor, Hayes, tackle the estate's massive 19th-century central fireplace. But the dust really starts flying when a nervous guest drops a mysterious antique locket holding a photograph of a woman who looks exactly like Elara.
Before the guest can reveal the locket's secrets, he is found dead in the study, struck by a heavy fireplace brick. Bumbling Chief Higgins is quick to declare it a botched robbery, but Elara with the help of her sassy Maine Coon cat, Corbel knows the killer was hunting for the locket.
Determined to uncover why her face is tied to a century-old mystery, Elara recruits a grumbling (but fiercely protective) Hayes. Between sweet, soot-covered diner dates and carefully chipping away old mortar, they uncover hidden love letters and a shocking truth: Elara's great-grandmother secretly owned the deed to the entire Blackwood beachfront before it was stolen. The killer isn't just a random thief; they are desperate to keep the town's darkest historical secret buried.
With the help of a unique maker's mark on the murder weapon and Hayes's contractor expertise, Elara must lay a daring trap. Can she outsmart a killer and reclaim her family's legacy before her dream B&B crumbles to ashes?
Fans of grumpy-meets-sunshine romance, DIY fixer-uppers, and clever amateur sleuths will devour this second installment in the Blackwood B&B Mysteries!
