Hold the Tension

He changed her locks. He kept a key.

Ten weeks after her sister was found dead behind a chained door, true-crime podcaster Margo Ellery comes home to find Celia’s sweater folded on her bed. Every lock was locked. The locksmith who answers her 1 a.m. call is Thane Rook: silent, scarred, impossible to read, and the son of the family that cut the keys to half of Philadelphia.

He changes her locks. He keeps a key. And every night he sits in the dark across her street, because someone else has a key too. When Margo catches him, she doesn’t call the police. She makes him a deal: teach her every lock in the city, and never lie to her again.

The trouble is, Thane has been lying since the night they met, and the man he’s been watching for is getting closer.

A dark stalker romance. Pin & Tumbler, Book 1.
