PROLOGUE
PRESENT
PREPPY
Tiny
flashes of dim light spark in the darkened corners of my mind. Slowly, it turns
from dusk to dawn, awakening my thoughts as the inner light grows brighter and
brighter.
I hear a
sound, a faucet running, and I realize it’s the blood rushing through my ears.
When it reaches my heart I choke as it comes back to life like a bass drum.
Boom. BaBOOM it beats, on and on, until it falls into a quick yet steady
rhythm. The new life inside me grows louder, stronger, until death fades away
and I awake on a gasp.
My eyes
spring open. I try to take in air, but nothing happens. I try again and my
lungs burn as they finally decide to cooperate. I can breathe, but it hurts
like a son of a bitch.
I’m fucking alive.
My first
thoughts shock the shit out of me. They’re of a girl. A sad looking girl with
shiny black hair and huge dark eyes sitting on the edge of the water tower.
My heart
falls out of rhythm, beating faster and faster until it’s thrumming against my
chest like the vibration of a jackhammer.
Her.
Although
my vision is blurry as shit, my thoughts of her are clearer than they’d ever
been, and for the first time in my adult life, I’m fucking scared.
I don’t
even need to see the big motherfucker standing over me with a baseball bat to
know I am completely and totally fucked.
Love. Never. Dies.

Samuel Clearwater, A.K.A Preppy, likes
bowties, pancakes, suspenders, good friends, good times, good drugs, and a good
f*ck.
He’s worked his way out from beneath a
hellish childhood and is living the life he’s always imagined for himself. When
he meets a girl, a junkie on the verge of ending it all, he’s torn between his
feelings for her and the crippling fear that she could be the one to end the
life he loves.
Andrea ‘Dre’ Capulet is strung out and
tired.
Tired of living for her next fix. Tired
of doing things that make her stomach turn. Tired of looking in the mirror at
the reflection of the person she’s become. Just when she decides to end it all,
she meets a man who will change the course of both their lives forever.
And their deaths.
For most people, death is the end of
their story.
For Preppy and Dre, death was only the
beginning.
This is the fifth book in the King Series
and it's meant to be read after Soulless.
