Description
From the queen of clean romantic suspense--one terrified witness, one unsuspecting Broadway playwright, and a killer who won't stop until the final curtain falls.
When Tessa Seidel delivers costumes to a Manhattan television studio late at night, she expects an empty set--not a murder scene. After stumbling upon a woman's body and nearly being attacked by a man fleeing the scene, Tessa escapes with no idea who to trust--and a fear that the killer knows who she is.
Desperate, she runs to a friend's beach house in the Hamptons, where Broadway playwright Parker Sawyer is retreating to finish his next script. But he knows danger when he sees it and offers to shelter Tessa, even when they find out she is being accused of committing the murder.
Back in Manhattan, CIA operatives Kimber Seidel and Brandon Hale realize Tessa is being framed. But with a powerful suspect manipulating the investigation, clearing Tessa's name won't be easy.
If they can't unravel the truth in time, Tessa won't just be the prime suspect--she'll be the next victim.

"The second installment in Abramson's Pen and Dagger series featuring Kimber Seidel and fellow CIA Agent Brandon Hale (after Novel Threat, 2025) delivers the same tension and emotional depth, weaving a fresh, new romance while continuing Kimber and Brandon's compelling story."
