Publisher's summary

Author Catherine Cowles brings you an addictive small-town romance series full of protective heroes and suspenseful twists and turns. Wrecked Beginnings contains the first three stand-alone novels in the Wrecked series.

Reckless Memories

I loved him before I knew what the word meant. From skinned knees to first dates and everything in between. But he was never mine to love. I settled for friendship, even though I always wanted more.

That was before. Before he ripped my world apart and didn’t bother sticking around to help me pick up the pieces. I knit every last shred back together all on my own. And I’ve all but forgotten his name.

Now, he’s back, and everything is torn apart once more. But he’s not the only one doing the tearing this time. And there might be no stopping the person who has it out for us both.

Perfect Wreckage

My past taught me to play it safe. To stay far away from handsome men who promised it all. My life was good without them. Stable, secure, predictable.

But one kiss showed me that I’d been playing it safe for far too long. One night and all I wanted was more of his wildfire. One challenge and my carefully constructed walls tumbled down.

Amidst the rubble, I realized there was more to this man than I ever dreamed. When everything fell apart, he showed me what it meant to stay. How to truly live.

But some demons don’t stay buried. The past can come knocking when you least expect. And the life he’s showing me might be shorter than either of us expected....

Wrecked Palace

One night was all it took for everything to change. From college student to guardian in a single breath. My siblings became my world.

No time for date nights or romantic dreams. I traded quiet weekends for sleepless nights. Giving my all to make sure they were cared for.

But Griffin had a brokenness that called to me - one that mirrored my own. Gruff and just a little bit reckless. He was the last thing I needed. But everything I wanted.

Only someone isn’t happy about this new life I’m building. Deciding to set fire to everything I hold close. And when the smoke clears, there might be only ashes left behind....

Amazing series!

There are books out there that pull you in so deep that you feel like the characters have been life-long friends, and this series does just that. I loved every minute of every book I have read by Catherine Cowles. I am now an avid fan! I am going to miss these girls! Great book, great series, and great narrators!

Totally worth the listen!

Each book included an attention grabbing love story. It was refreshing not having to listen to constant erotica. Finally an author who doesn’t rely solely on sex to provide a riveting story.

Excellent storyline for all three books!

I loved getting to know each character. Each book is a continuation of the last. I enjoyed getting the back story for each character. Love the small town feel which adds to each story.

I loved getting three books for one credit.

Hooked

Well, I’ve listened to a lot of series on Audible, which I have enjoyed very much. The series has definitely moved up in to that category. I finished the entire series 25 hours of listening in one weekend. It was an emotional roller coaster. Made me laugh and cry a lot. And isn’t that what literature is all about.

beautiful

Three stories showing love, loss, danger,
The female characters are all best friends true to each other. Family not connected by blood , but by love and trust. It's their stories of their strengths, weaknesses, doubts, love and the men in their lives.
Beautifully written,
Maxine Mitchell, Joe Arden,Ava Erickson, and Andi Arndt narration is so emotional, it was great to listen to these amazing performers.
