Blueprint for a Heartbreak

Elena Vance lives her life by the grid. As a top-tier restoration architect, she knows exactly how much weight a beam can hold, how to balance a budget, and how to keep her emotions safely tucked away behind a clipboard. When she's hired to evaluate the crumbling, historic Riviera Theater in the coastal town of Shoreline, she expects a straightforward job: assess the damage, modernize the space, and leave. No sentiment, no complications.
​Maya Lin is a walking complication. Fierce, hyper-local, and armed with a tool belt and a history degree, Maya has made it her life's mission to protect Shoreline's heritage from cold, corporate hands. To Maya, the Riviera isn't just a safety hazard-it's the beating heart of the town. And she is absolutely not going to let a suit-wearing architect from the city bulldoze its soul for the sake of "efficiency."
​When the two are forced to collaborate on the massive 70-phase restoration project, the sparks fly faster than sawdust on a construction site. Elena thinks Maya is an impractical dreamer; Maya thinks Elena is a heartless pragmatist.
​But as they dive into the theater's hidden passageways, forgotten archives, and peeling Art Deco beauty, the friction between them begins to evolve into something much more dangerous. With every blueprint they redraw, the lines between professional rivalry and personal attraction blur. Elena has a plan for everything, but she didn't draft a contingency plan for Maya-and in a project this fragile, a single miscalculation could lead to a total collapse of the heart.
