The Nightjar Clause
Synopsis
Constance "Stanzi" Okoro-Lindqvist lost her literary career to one devastating review and rebuilt it in the dark, writing steamy bestsellers as the anonymous Nightjar. When the Vellum Prize shortlists Nightjar under a clause requiring the winner to appear unmasked, Stanzi must judge her own secret book beside Anselm Duquesne — the critic whose byline ruined her, who has spent three years quietly defending Nightjar to a publishing world that sneers. Fourteen days, one shared desk, one storm, and a truth about that review that will cost them both everything they built to survive it.
