Reckless A novel

Before Stacey Abrams earned national attention as a civil rights and voting rights leader, and before her nonfiction titles and her first crime novel, While Justice Sleeps (2021) appeared, she wrote romance fiction as Selena Montgomery, including Reckless. Full of aching joy and sweet sorrow, this is a gripping and unforgettable tale of romantic suspense. Porsche-driving Kell Jameson has deliberately compromised her moral code to become a celebrity defense attorney to high-profile clients in Atlanta. When she was seven, her parents dumped her at Eliza Faraday's orphanage in rural Georgia, from which she ran away for mysterious reasons. Now a distressed call from Eliza about her being framed for murder reawakens Kell's compassion and causes her to hightail it back to Hallden. Luke Calder is the county sheriff. A few years ago, drowning in guilt over a case gone disastrously wrong, he abruptly quit his prestigious job with the Chicago police department. In Hallden, Georgia, he has regained pride in his ability to establish a reputable crime unit. A sheriff and a defense lawyer are destined to be at loggerheads, yet they find themselves working in tandem to absolve Eliza. In this masterfully paced love story, as the suspense intensifies, so does the romance.
