At its heart, A Reckless Dream is a tale of love versus legacy. Maddox Laurier, the reckless heir to a powerful empire, finds himself emotionally disarmed by Iris Hansley, a woman whose very presence threatens to unravel the lies his family built their fortune on. Their romance is not just forbidden; it’s laced with generational guilt and the possibility of revenge masquerading as affection.

Maddox Laurier, the enigmatic and indulgent owner of Escapades, thrives in a world of luxury and emotional detachment. But when Iris Hansley steps into his orbit—gentle, poised, and seemingly untouched by the decadence around him—he’s instantly captivated. What begins as a fleeting fascination soon spirals into a dangerous, all-consuming love.

Yet Iris is no ordinary housekeeper. She’s the daughter of a woman Maddox’s powerful family once destroyed—a buried scandal cloaked in silence and shame. As Maddox risks everything to shield her from his family’s wrath, he begins to uncover the chilling truth behind his mother’s death. And Iris? She stands at a crossroads, torn between the warmth she feels for Maddox and the vengeance she was raised to pursue.

A Reckless Dream is the fifth book of the Reckless Hearts Series, but can be read as a standalone.
