MR. ROOK
Mr. Rook's Island #1
Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
Releasing June 13th, 2017
From NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff,
Comes Part One of Mr. Rook’s
Island, a Sexy, Dark, Romantic Suspense.
He’s
Enigmatic, Dangerously Handsome, and COMPLETELY OFF-LIMITS…
The
women who vacation on Mr. Rook’s exclusive island are looking for one thing and
one thing only: to have their wildest romantic fantasies come to life. Pirates,
cowboys, billionaires—there’s nothing Rook’s staff can’t deliver.
But
when Stephanie Fitzgerald’s sister doesn’t return after her week in paradise,
Stephanie will have to pose as a guest in order to dig for answers.
Unfortunately, this means she’ll need to get close to the one thing on the
island that’s not on the menu: the devastatingly handsome and intimidating Mr.
Rook. And he’s not about to give the island’s secrets away.
EXCERPT
PROLOGUE
My name is
Stephanie Fitzgerald. I am twenty-six years old, London born, New York raised,
and I know exactly three things about my current situation.
One: I am an
imposter riding on this private jet carrying myself and eleven other women to
an island “paradise.”
Two: I have
no clue what I will find when I disembark, because this exclusive resort
doesn’t exactly advertise.
Three: I will
be fired if I don’t return home with concrete information regarding Mr. Rook, the
mysterious owner of the island. And when I say I’ll be fired, I really mean
that my body will be thrown down a deep dark well by a bad, bad man.
Those three
things, however, don’t really matter. Only finding my sister does. Because the
last place Cici was seen alive is here, “Fantasy Island.” Yep, that’s what some
people actually call it. Some even say the show in the ’80s was based on this
place.
Sure. If your fantasy is to disappear,
leaving your family an emotional train wreck, then okay, I concede the point.
Regardless,
this is where Cici went after winning a mystery dream vacation in the back of
some travel magazine, and it’s touted as the real deal. You pay fifty K. They
make your wildest fantasies come true. One week in Heaven.
Heaven, my ass.
As the tires
hit the wet landing strip and the plane slows to a crawl, I glance out the tiny
oval window to my left, and my breath hitches. Standing among the lush
vegetation lining the runway is a tall man with square shoulders. He’s looking
right at me, and those eyes—so predatory, so cold—are the only thing I can
really see of him.
I blink, and
he vanishes like a wisp of steam.
Fuck. What was that? A hard shiver slams through me as I
realize I have no clue what I’ve just gotten myself into. Because I am one of
the next happy guests at Mr. Rook’s private island, where “Every woman’s
fantasy is our business.” And not
everyone comes home from vacation.
