..Reegan lost herself. The moment she grasped sight of the mysteriously handsome gentleman with the striking, cold eyes. Everything told her to avoid Jackson —to walk away, but she did not. She fell in love despite her resolve not to, ignoring his dishonest silence and the intimate night he spent with her childhood friend. Impetuously, Reegan relinquishes her home, career, and comfort to join Jackson in Atlanta, only to be greeted each morning with calls from the ex-fiancé who once occupied her space. As Reegan contends with the reality of her decision, she continues to harbor a secret from her best friend that ultimately challenges the stability of her friendship. Beautifully composed, Chasing Eden is an intricate novel of love and relationships and the wonderful ways they influence who we become.
