Reckless by Jessica Lauryn 

Reckless decisions can have passionate consequences…

After seven years of trying to make peace with her father’s untimely death, recent college graduate Mia Carter is determined to forge a career path, preferably one free of her overbearing mom. The handsome man who rescues her from drowning seems to hold the key, but their strained friendship is more than Mia bargained for. Zack is hard-edged and bullheaded and the most intriguing man she’s ever met. While Zack refuses to open up to her, secrets of the past begin to unravel, and Mia’s frightening attraction threatens to turn her budding world into a nightmare.

Former playboy Zack Mason doesn’t believe he’s worthy of a second chance.  Horrified by his past actions, Zack’s attempted to cut off all human contact.  His mission to restore an old lighthouse is supposed to be his penance, or his execution, until the woman he rescues from drowning revives a part of him he thought died at the scene of a fatal accident.  As Zack’s senses are awakened, the source of his demons resurfaces and threatens to do him in.  Can Mia help Zack win the battle, and save him from himself?
