A missing dancer. A sealed wall. A deed that could cost Maggie everything.
Maggie Dawson only meant to attend the reopening of the restored Pointe Ballroom in Seaview, a short drive south of Whispering Pines. With Cole at her side and Mr. Crumbs making it clear he has strong opinions about restricted areas, Maggie expects coastal charm, local gossip, and maybe one awkward dance-floor moment.
Then a renovation worker breaks through a false wall and finds Selene Hollis, a missing dance instructor, hidden behind the plaster with a tarot card in her hands.
The discovery gets worse when old property records suggest the Pointe Ballroom and Maggie’s beloved Larkspur Inn may be tangled in a disputed deed. Soon Ruby’s secret connection to Selene and the heritage society’s guarded record-keeper make everyone look suspicious.
But as tarot cards surface and Mr. Crumbs keeps circling clues no one else notices, Maggie realizes Selene left behind a trail.
If Maggie can’t follow it in time, she could lose Ruby, the inn, and the truth Selene died trying to protect.
