From the author of Pure Abandon comes the story of life after loss, and a scintillating romance about a woman who falls for a mystery man on the island of Capri. It's an insta-love story with a second-chance twist! A heart-wrenching breakup, an accident… a loss. Every time I stretch out my right hand, I’m reminded of my dreams that faded in one awful weekend. That’s why my sister thought it would be a good idea to go away to the island of Capri, Italy. Everything was going well until I fell off a boat while waiting to get into the Blue Grotto and nearly drowned. When a stranger offered to help, Leah and I followed him to his luxury yacht where I met the man who was destined to own me. His name was Asher. I didn’t want to let him, but over the course of three days, we entered into an intense, complex, and emotion extracting relationship. The man saved me in more ways than he could have imagined. And then he left, leaving me betrayed and stranded by the only man I’d ever been able to open my heart to. But that’s not the end of our story. A chance meeting in New York, a romance communicated through music and a choice greater than any love I’d ever known, I learned of Asher’s demons and in the end, I was only left to wonder… Is he here to save me or is he the one who needed saving? Reckless Abandon is a STANDALONE novel in the Abandon Collection. The Abandon Collection is a series of standalone novels featuring dynamic heroines who have to abandon their realities in order to discover themselves..and love along the way. Each novel features a new couple, exciting new city, and a rose of a different color.

When I was little, my mom was part of the Double Day book club. She had piles and piles of books lying around the house; most of them with Fabio-esque men and a scantily clad woman set in a different century. I made up stories in my head just from looking at the covers. When I as 9, I wrote stories using my best friend as a muse. They were romances...but for the 9-year-old. She was the only one who read them. When I was 14, another friend gave me a Marian Keyes novel. I fell in-love with her wit, and humor with a dark side. This was my first experience with realistic fiction. When I was 19, Nicholas Sparks forever changed my views on relationships. I learned what true love could be beautiful and difficult at the same time. I wanted it. When I was 22, Jeannette Wells made me feel more emotion from an autobiographical novel than I thought possible. I wanted to be her. When I was 30, Jamie McGuire and Colleen Hoover introduced me to the world of self-publishing. For the first time I thought: I could give this a try someday. When I was 32, my someday came. ———————————————————— Jeannine Colette is the author of the Abandon Collection – a series of stand-alone novels featuring dynamic heroines who have to abandon their reality in order to discover themselves . . . and love along the way.
