The Reckless series began in 1985 and represents Madeline Baker’s Western historical romance roots. Before she became known for vampire fiction, Baker wrote passionate frontier romances where reckless hearts drove characters toward love.
The series spans her career, with books from the 1980s followed by Reckless Embrace in 2002. The 2022 collection brings the series together, compiling these connected tales of frontier passion for modern readers.
Baker’s Western romances feature the Native American characters and frontier settings that defined her early work. The Reckless series captures impulsive, passionate love in historical settings, showing another side of an author now primarily associated with paranormal romance.
