<p><b><i>A secret vault, a framed fiancé, and a demolition that brings down more than just plaster.</i></b></p><p>Elara and her ruggedly handsome contractor fiancé, Hayes, are officially engaged and breaking ground on Blackwood Manor's ambitious east wing expansion! But between tasting wedding cakes in a cloud of drywall dust and swinging sledgehammers, the couple is distracted by the coffee-stained architectural blueprints they found hidden beneath the floorboards-blueprints that reveal a secret, 1920s vault buried deep beneath Blackwood Cove's Town Hall.</p><p>Sneaking into the municipal basement to investigate under the guise of pulling construction permits, they don't just find the vault-they find the town's notoriously strict Records Clerk dead beneath a toppled filing cabinet. Chief Higgins is quick to rule it a tragic workplace accident, but when Elara spots a rusted skeleton key clutched in the victim's hand, she knows a murderer is silencing anyone who gets too close to the town's hidden history.</p><p>With her sassy Maine Coon cat, Corbel, riding shotgun in her tool bag, Elara dives into a messy web of embezzled municipal funds and petty political rivalries. The stakes skyrocket when the killer sabotages the Manor's newly poured foundation and frames Hayes by planting stolen cash in his contractor truck.</p><p>To clear her fiancé's name and stop a corrupt official from bulldozing the town's historic downtown, Elara must lay a daring trap. But when the plan backfires, locking Elara and Hayes inside an airtight, pitch-black vault, they will have to rely on their love, their renovation expertise, and a lone screwdriver to break out before their time runs out.</p><p><b><i>Fans of sweet romance, DIY fixer-uppers, wedding planning chaos, and clever amateur sleuths will absolutely devour this thrilling seventh installment in the Blackwood B&amp;B Mysteries!</i></b></p>
