Pawn
Mr. Rook's Island Series, Book #2
by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
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?
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?
My goodness, this installment had me just as drawn in as the first, with Stephanie now having to pull double duty: hiding why she's at the island and her evolving feelings for Mr. Rook. The tension and chemistry between these two is probably hovering right around the nuclear level, but is all the tension just from them, or is there something about the island that could also be wreaking some kind of weird, sexually-charged havoc on these two? Just when you think you might have a clue about what's happening, here come a few curve balls to shake things up a bit and really keep you guessing...until that damn cliffhanger!

PROLOGUE
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.”
