“She said that we would start turning evil unless we get mated.”

Ah yes. That
. He definitely didn’t want to think about turning into a murderer unless, like everyone else who was single, he found his mate. Either way, it would suck for him. He loved being single.
I wish Cimil had been right the first time when she thought I was going to go nuts from being banished too long.
At least then, he’d had a chance at real freedom by merely serving his sentence.

“Yes,” Zac replied, “it is true—she said that. Why?”

“I think it’s happening already. My eyes have changed to black. They’re not blue anymore.”

What the fuck?
“Are you certain you haven’t been eating some of K’ak’s magic brownies?” K’ak, one of the other gods, thought it would be funny to bring some to the party. Of course, that was over a week ago, so it would be strange for the effects to kick in so soon. The brownies usually took effect at the most inopportune moments about a month or so after consumption. Not funny at all.

“No.” Tommaso panted. “I did not eat any fucking brownies.”

“This is not good at all.” If Tommaso was right, the change could be happening to others already, too. “The problem is I think I found my mate,” Tommaso added.

“Oh. Well, you see, there’s some good news,” Zac said. “Now you simply need her to accept you.”

“That’s the issue. I found her tied up in my closet. I apparently kidnapped her.”

“You are correct; that does not sound like a positive thing. Why would you do that, Tommaso?”

“I don’t know. But I untied her and she ran. The last thing I remember, I was chasing her and then I found myself sitting in a 7-Eleven parking lot, covered in blood and black stuff. It’s even in my fucking hair.”

Zac swallowed.
Holy saints, is Tommaso turning into a Maaskab?
It sure the hell sounded like it.
Dear gods, this is not good.
“Text me the address, we’re coming to get you.”

“Please hurry.” Tommaso ended the call.

“Tula!” Zac called, and she came scurrying from the break room in her giant underwear, which he tried desperately to ignore.

“Yes? What’s the matter?” she asked.

“Get your clothes back on. It’s time for you to get your hands dirty.”

“What do you mean?” she asked.

“I may need you to help me capture a Maaskab.”

AUTHOR’S NOTE

Hi All!

I hope you enjoyed book #1 of the new series. Each story will be about a new couple, with a teaser for the next story at the end—so not exactly a dreaded cliffhanger and easy to read as standalones. Obviously, the next victim will be Tommaso (May 2016)! More info, including preorder links, can be found here:
www.mimijean.net/immortal_matchmakers.html

After that, I have the following stories planned:

— BRUTUS

— COLEL, the Mistress of Bees

— THE GOD OF WINE

— THE GODDESS OF FORGETFULNESS

Don’t forget, if you want a signed Immortal Matchmakers bookmark, shoot your mailing address to:

. (I still personally answer all of my emails.) Be SURE to mention if you POST A REVIEW because I’ll include some surprise “thank you” swag, too. (It’s on a first come basis, but I usually have some sort of goodies on hand!)

As always, I want to thank you for reading my books! I’m constantly blown away by everyone’s supportiveness and willingness to take these crazy journeys with me. It seriously makes being a writer so, so fun because I get to go where my heart takes me. (Who’s up for my next story FUGLY, coming in late Sept! See blurb here in the back.)

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart!

Happy Reading,

Mimi

My name is Lily Snow. I am twenty-five years old, and despite being born with an extremely unattractive face, I have never doubted who I am: smart, driven, and beautiful on the inside.

Until I met Maxwell Cole.

He’s handsome, excessively wealthy, and the owner of Cole Cosmetics. It’s been my dream to work for this man for as long as I can remember. The good news is he wants to hire me. The bad news is he wants me for all the wrong reasons. Ugly reasons.

In exchange, he’s offered me my dreams on a silver platter. The job. The title. A beautiful future. But this man is as messed up and ugly as they come on the inside. I’m not sure anyone can help him, and he just might take my heart down with him.

Glossary

Black Jade
: Found only in a particular mine located in southern Mexico, this jade has very special supernatural properties, including the ability to absorb supernatural energy—in particular, god energy. When worn by humans, it is possible for them to have physical contact with a god. If injected, it can make a person addicted to doing bad things. If the jade is fueled with dark energy and then released, it can be used as a weapon. Chaam personally likes using it to polish his teeth.

Demilords:
Once upon a time, they were a group of immortal badass vampires who’d been infused with the light of the gods. Now free from their jobs (killing Obscuros), and their vampire bloodline dead, they have all turned into plain old demigods, but are still just as deadly and lethal as ever.
