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!

About the Author

About The Author
There have been many imitators, but only ever one Jackie Collins!

The iconic author has been called a “raunchy moralist” by the late director Louis Malle and “Hollywood’s own Marcel Proust” by Vanity Fair magazine.

With over half a billion copies of her books sold in more than forty countries, and with thirty-one New York Times bestsellers to her credit, she is one of the world’s top-selling novelists.

From glamorous Beverly Hills bedrooms to Hollywood movie studios; from glittering rock concerts in London to the yachts of Russian billionaires, Jackie Collins chronicles the scandalous lives of the rich, famous and infamous from the inside looking out.

“I write about real people in disguise,” she once said. “If anything, my characters are toned down - the truth is much more bizarre!”

Born in in London, England, her first novel, The World is Full of Married Men established Collins as an author who dared to step where no other female writer had gone before. She followed it with one successful title after another, including The Stud and The Bitch, both adapted into films starring her actress sister, Joan Collins. Jackie found her stride when she published Chances, the first installment in a sprawling family saga introducing the strong, sexy and powerful Lucky Santangelo. Soon after came the seminal 80s blockbuster, Hollywood Wives which was adapted into one of ABCs highest rated mini-series. Jackie continued on a wild writing streak, satisfying her devoted readers with hit after hit, including Lady Boss, Hollywood Kids, Poor Little Bitch Girl and The Power Trip among many others. Jackie was a long time supporter of AIDS Project LA, HIV & AIDS research and equality for the LGBT community. She was widely known for writing characters who reflected a whole spectrum of society.

Jackie was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) by the Queen of England in 2013 for her services to literature and charity. When accepting the honor she said to the Queen, “Not bad for a school drop-out” - a revelation capturing her belief that both passion and determination can lead to big dreams coming true!

In addition to her long and lustrous career, Jackie valued her family above all else, including her three daughters and six grandchildren. She wrote every one of her manuscripts by hand, as well as being widely known for her photographic skills, constantly documenting family, friends and her celebrity circle.

Jackie died of breast cancer on September 19th 2015, six years after being given a stage 4 diagnosis, which she chose to keep private until the final weeks of her life. During that time, she continued to write five more books and traveled the world on yearly book tours. In her last interview before her death, Jackie said "I want people to see me as an example of strength - and doing things my way...'"

Jackie Collins was a creative force, a mentor and trailblazer in fiction, and an inspiration to all who knew her, in addition to the millions of readers whose lives she enriched through her novels for decades.

A compelling documentary about Jackie's life and trailblazing career - Lady Boss-The Jackie Collins Story, produced by Academy Award Winning Passion Pictures, CNN Films, BBC Arts & AGC productions - will be released in 2021.
