Blueprints for a Second Chance

Talia Vance has spent years keeping Briar Glen’s beloved Starlight Theatre open, even as its aging bones threaten to bring the curtain down for good. Then Parker Cole arrives with a drill, a deadline, and a talent for seeing through every excuse she makes. Forced to work side by side beneath the theatre’s creaking rafters, the guarded stagekeeper and the relentless engineer discover a shared love of old buildings—and a chemistry neither can quite contain. But Parker’s inspection is uncovering more than structural trouble, and Talia is running out of ways to keep him from asking what lies beneath the stage. How much truth can their new connection withstand?
