Lovers & Gamblers

"What radiates from all of her novels is a sense that women are just as capable of great things as men." - ALEXANDRA HEMINSLEY, author of Some Body to Love

The internationally bestselling scorcher Lovers and Gamblers is a Jackie Collins classic—packed with all the luscious ingredients that stir up the drama and sizzle with every page turned…


Fans don't realize that rock and roll superstar Al King has a family back in London, and his brother-manager Paul does whatever he can to keep Al's wife, Edna, in the dark and Al at the top of his career. After all, being a rock star pretty much comes with the guarantee of having any woman he desires ready, willing, and able to be in his bed. Whatever Paul's doing is working—Edna never suspects infidelity, no matter what the papers say, and Al essentially has the world at his feet.


Except Al's not a typical rock star. He craves substance and intelligence, something more than what the women he typically attracts have to offer. So when ambitious beauty queen Dallas Lunde enters his life, and she doesn't fawn after him like the others, he's intrigued. In fact, not only does she not pine, she stands him up—and more than once!


When Al and Dallas do finally connect, the result is an explosive passion that neither could ever have expected. But not everything is as it seems. For one, Al doesn't realize that Dallas is harboring a terrible secret from her past, a darkness she'll do anything to keep covered. As Dallas makes her way to superstardom, she's also made her fair share of enemies, many of whom she stepped on or over on her way to the top, and someone with access to her secret is right on the verge of exposing Dallas and bringing her down.

From London to New York, from Hollywood to Rio and the steaming jungles of the Amazon, Al and Dallas endure misunderstandings, blackmail, murder, and hijackings, and they may make it out alive—and together—in this sexy, funny, and outrageous page turner that's truly Jackie Collins at her best!
