From NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, Comes Part Two of Mr. Rook’s Island, a Sexy, Dark, Romantic Suspense.
SHE KNOWS HE’S BAD. THE QUESTION IS, HOW BAD?
Stephanie Fitzgerald is nobody’s pawn. Determined to discover the truth about a missing loved one, she lands a job at the world’s most exclusive resort, working for the only man with the answers—Mr. Rook. He’s shockingly handsome, thoroughly intimidating, and completely off-limits.
But the truth she seeks isn’t black and white, and Mr. Rook is a far more dangerous temptation than she ever knew.
Will Stephanie resist her desires, or will she be lured into Mr. Rook’s world of hidden sins?
I can't really divert away from the blurb to much without revealing too much of the story. I will say that Mimi Jean Pamfiloff seamlessly blended together King, Mermen, and Fantasy Island to make a mysterious island with more secrets than El Corazon and a man with all most as many than King.
Classic Mimi, seriously she is the mistress of answering question with more questions and leaves you satisfied but still wanting more. Yes, that means cliffhanger.
Stephanie's new job on the island gives her the perfect opportunity to dig into Rook's secrets she knows he's still not telling her the full truth about what happened to her sister. All she needs to do is resist the sexual pull she has toward Rook and put off a mob boss. Her dreams can lead her to the truth. But is she really cut out for this, can she handle the truth or is that all a lie too?
Overall, it's another mindfuck by Mimi and I loved it.
PROLOGUE
It wasn’t supposed to be like this, you know. Such a fucking mess. But I should’ve guessed this was coming. Because when life becomes nothing but should-haves, there is no other possible outcome. My big sister, Cici, should’ve come home from her exotic island vacation four months ago. My father should’ve told me that Mr. Rook, the owner of the resort, came to see him with the news that Cici had drowned, instead of leaving me in the dark. I should’ve known better than to borrow money from a very dangerous man in order to fund my search for her. There are so many should-haves that I’m sick to my stomach with remorse.
But by far, my biggest regret is the moment I stepped foot on this island. Because once I set eyes on the devastatingly handsome Mr. Rook, I couldn’t stop myself from wanting him, from dreaming about him, from feeling drawn to the connection between us. I know it’s wrong.
Nothing good will come of it.
Because now I’m beginning to believe that Cici didn’t die drunk, swimming in the middle of the night. Just like I suspect that this past week with Rook—the touches, the forbidden kisses, the sexual hunger in his steel blue eyes—was an elaborate hoax meant to distract me.
Because he’s not just a wealthy businessman.
This island is no paradise.
And I’m no fucking idiot.
So while resisting this man will be the hardest thing I’ve ever done, I will find out what really happened to my sweet Cici. Otherwise I won’t ever be able to let her go, and my broken heart will be the end of me.
My name is Stephanie Fitzgerald. I am twenty-six years old, London born, New York raised, and I am the newest employee of Mr. Rook’s Island, where “your fantasy is our business.”
