Reckless A novel

Selena Montgomery

Book - 2021

"Independent, stunning, and smart, Kell Jameson has the life she's always dreamed about. A partner at a tony Atlanta law firm that represents famous--if guilty--clients, she's far from her days as a lonely orphan in rural Georgia. But one frantic phone call will bring her back to the place she's spent years trying to escape. The head of her childhood orphanage has been accused of murder, and Kell is her only hope for freedom. From the first moment Kell meets Sheriff Luke Calder, tempers and attraction flare. Ruggedly handsome and a stickler for law and order, Luke finds Kell compelling. Unfortunately, she represents his prime suspect. Forced to work together, they dig deep into the town's scandals ... but Kell has a... secret of her own. She trusts Luke enough to fall in love--but does she trust him enough to reveal the reckless past she's worked so hard to keep hidden?"--Back cover.

Review by Booklist Review

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.
