That Jazz

About the Book

As long as she can remember, Jazz has always been her daddy’s little princess. As she grows up on a beautiful Caribbean island, she is happy in his company and he is happy in hers. But when he becomes the victim of a deadly accident, Jazz and her mother drift apart emotionally, eventually sending Jazz disappearing into the night without a trace. As she attempts to forge a new life for herself, Jazz struggles against loneliness and feelings of abandonment; still, with a combination of good luck, instinct, and talent, she manages to survive—until she is betrayed by a trusted companion. Ten years later, in a fit of anger and despair, she returns home to those she deserted and discovers that Jason, her childhood sweetheart, is about to be married. Jazz wants him back—not only because she loves him, but because he can provide her with something she has always wanted: a big family. Jazz is prepared to give up everything—including the comfortable life she has created for herself—for love, but she soon discovers that her journey to happiness is more complicated than she ever imagined.
