AUTHOR’S NOTE The Darkest Ones is a bundle of my 3 darkest titles: Comfort Food, The Game Maker, and Big Sky. Comfort Food was my debut book, published originally in 2010 and is considered to be the OG dark romance book of the subgenre. If you enjoy Comfort Food, Game Maker has a “similar feel” in many ways. And Big Sky… well, I have no excuse for Big Sky. It is what it is. These are all standalone titles so you can read them in any order, but I recommend the order laid out, first because Comfort Food is where it all started, and it’s always a good idea to start at the beginning if you can, and you probably need Comfort Food and The Game Maker to dip a toe into Big Sky. Hope you enjoy! Thanks so much for reading! Kitty ^.^ Comfort Food: HER: The first day of my captivity was like being born... or dying.

They’re both kind of the same thing with the long tunnel and the bright light at the end. Maybe it wasn’t like either, actually. Maybe I’m remembering it wrong because for me that day all there was, was darkness. I was blindfolded, sitting in a hard metal chair, with each of my legs bound to a chair leg and my arms tied up behind me. The sharpest bit of sensory input I had was the silence. It was a suffocating blanket from which there was no escape. Unless I started talking just to hear my own voice, a desperation I refused to display in the first five minutes of consciousness. I remember thinking this was how spy movies often started, with sensory deprivation: the first step to get the prisoner to spill his secrets. I had no secrets. I was an open book, and maybe that was
