"Welcome home, Static. You missed the kitchen door."
For true-crime podcaster Briony Penhallow, coming home to Kittiwake Point was supposed to be the episode of a lifetime. Her late grandmother left her half of Gullcrest, a weathered house on the Maine coast, and a family mystery two hundred thousand listeners are dying to hear solved.
But Briony isn't alone at Gullcrest.
It isn't the foghorn moaning through the walls that keeps her awake. It's the roses left with every thorn still on, the red thread tied across her door, and the messages that arrive at 3:11 a.m. from someone who knows exactly what she said on air.
Briony has a stalker.
And she isn't the first Penhallow girl to be watched from the dark. In 1951, her great-great-aunt Celia was crowned Rose Queen. Three days later, she was found dead on the rocks below the lighthouse, with a crown on her head.
Seventy-five years later, someone is weaving a new crown.
And the only one listening closely enough to stop him is the man she should be running from.
STATIC QUEEN is the first book of The Kittiwake Point Duet, a dark stalker romance with explicit, consensual open-door scenes, a safe word that is always honored, and a hero who never takes what isn't given. It ends on a cliffhanger. Content warnings appear at the front of the book. Intended for readers 18+.
