Pen Pal (Preorder - 10/6/26)

A BRAND-NEW HARDCOVER DELUXE LIMITED EDITION of New York Times bestseller J.T. Geissinger’s PEN PAL—a BookTok dark-romance sensation—featuring stenciled edges, full color art on the reverse of the dust jacket, designed endpapers, and a foil case stamp

It all began with just one line.

“I’ll wait forever if I have to.”

The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence:

I’ll wait forever if I have to.

It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know.

Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply?

You.

I told the mystery man he had the wrong girl. He said he didn’t. I said we’d never met, but he said I was wrong.

We went back and forth, exchanging letters every week that grew increasingly more intimate. Then one day, the letters stopped. When I found out why, it was already too late.

Dante was at my doorstep.

And nothing on earth could have prepared me for what happened next.
