The Last Key

When locksmith Mara Vale is hired to open a sealed room in a house that officially does not exist, she expects old secrets, not a living man waiting in the dark. Elias Rook has spent three years hiding from the family that tried to erase him. The only person he trusts with the last key is Mara—a precise, guarded woman whose hands never tremble, even when the locks between them begin to fail. The room contains proof of a crime, a fortune built on stolen lives, and a name powerful enough to destroy them both. To survive the night, Mara and Elias must decide what they are willing to unlock: the truth, the house, or each other.
