BLURB:
From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, Comes the New
Standalone Story of Mack, a Continuation of the King Trilogy
“THEY THINK KING IS EVIL, BUT HE’S GOT
NOTHING ON ME.” - Mack
MY NAME IS MACK. And if I play my cards right, I will soon be dead.
Permanently. Not even my powerful twin brother will be able to resurrect me. A
good thing. Because a man like me has no business living. Not when I have
killed. Not when I have betrayed everyone I have ever cared for. Not when I
know I’m destined to do it again.
This is why I have come looking for her—the only one capable of ending
me once and for all. But will she think I’m just another insane patient? Or
will she believe the truth? I am thousands of years old, my heart too dark to
be salvaged.
~~~~~
MY NAME IS TEDDI, short for Theodora. My entire life has been a canvas
of grays, whites, and black. I can’t feel, I can’t understand joy, I’ve never
truly lived. Until now. His name is Mack, and though he believes he’s cursed,
my degree in psychology tells me otherwise. Besides, someone who’s capable of
bringing so much light into my life can’t be anything but good.
But I can save him. If he’ll let me.

STORY – BASED ON THE USA TODAY BESTSELLING KING TRILOGY)

EXCERPT
Darkness
was the one thing in this world I didn’t care for—probably because I felt most
comfortable with facts. Seeing objects equated seeing facts. There is the
floor. There is the couch. Facts.
Guessing
where things were—I think the leg of this table is around here
somewhere—ouch!—was inefficient, useless. It was why nightlights were invented.
So
when I entered John Doe’s dark room, the first thing I wanted was to bring in
some light.
“Mr.
Doe?” I said to the dark figure seated in the corner of the small room, staring
at me like an eerie scarecrow waiting to frighten the shit out of anything that
crossed its path. “My name is Dr. Valentine. I’m the new director. May I turn
on the lights so we can discuss the reason you are here?”
“I
asked not to be disturbed.” The man’s deep, masculine voice felt like a cold,
chilling slap. Yet strangely, it was also…Well, I didn’t know really. Hypnotic,
perhaps.
I
squinted, my eyes straining to see his face but only able to make out his
silhouette—broad shoulders, short hair, and fit-looking arms from the shadows
of biceps I was able to spot.
“That’s
exactly why we need to talk,” I said. “It’s come to my attention that you are
not here to seek therapy—”
“Leave.”
My
mouth flapped for a moment. “I’m sorry, but did you—”
“I
said leave,” he growled.
Sadly
for him, intimidation didn’t work on me. Not that I was stupid and wouldn’t get
out of harm’s way. The question was, did he intend to harm me?
“And
if I don’t?” I asked, testing the waters. His response would tell me everything
I needed to know. Reading people’s internal emotional state was another gift of
mine.
I
waited for a reply.
And
then I waited some more.
He’s
not going to answer me. Fine. This was silly and a completely unproductive use
of my time. I would just have to see him with my own two eyes. My gift would do
the rest.
“Okay.
These lights are going—” I flipped the switch, and the moment my eyes met his,
I was hit by a hard wave of…
“Holy
fuck,” I gasped.
I
flipped off the lights, turned, and left the room. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. What was
that?
