Saintly or sinful? Savage or sublime? Kind or a killer? Jane Luck has no clue what she's capable of. She's a heady, intrepid free spirit exploring life as a worldly new woman while molting out of the skin of a reserved, pious girl.The daughter of well-meaning but troubled parents who struggle with violence, addiction, and infidelity, Jane leaves home - against her parents' wishes - to pursue her lifelong dream in the city. The elements of her past which travel with her almost cause her complete undoing.In this first installment in THE JANE LUCK ADVENTURES series, we find a floundering young college student who's beliefs are a grounding force and a source of constant angst as she struggles to reconcile them with her humanity. When she gets a rare opportunity to cast off her cares during a respite in an island paradise, a perfect storm of burnout, youthful sexuality, and the obsession of a deranged kidnapper, threatens to send her over the edge.Jane emerges a little wiser, having revealed a mercenary streak within her which has the ability to save and destroy. It will come in handy, because she has no idea that her most harrowing and mind-blowing adventures are yet to come.

The ideals of naive young women often fall short of reality. Jane Luck's plan to live in the city as a fearless, free-spirited designer has instead left her homeless and buried under a mountain of student debt in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. What's worse is that she's still struggling to process the loss of a true love alongside guilt over the death of a false flame. All she wants is a safe place to land, but she can find no peace. After she becomes involved with a secretly wealthy classmate, a band of vengeful, Liberian ex-warlords begin to see her as a key to her boyfriend's riches. She's swept up in another globe-trotting rampage in a war-torn land where her ancestors also once attempted to find serenity. This, yet another trial by fire, strips Jane of a few more layers of self-doubt and fear. And just when she thinks her life is truly falling apart, some very important things may be falling into place.
