Lovers & Gamblers
The highs and lows of the lovers and gamblers of Hollywood.
Featuring a brand new introduction from Alexandra Heminsley, talking about what Jackie and her books mean to her!
‘What radiates from all of her novels is a sense that women are just as capable of great things as men’ Alexandra Heminsley
'Jackie Collins’s daring, unapologetic stroke of the pen, combined with her glorious wit, has single-handedly given creative license to new generations of authors and storytellers.' Colleen Hoover
Al King, the rock-and-roll super stud who is everything any sex-crazed groupie ever imagined her hero to be; and Dallas, the beauty queen whose sky-high ambitions stem from a sordid secret—the type that tabloids tingle to tell. Together, they're on a wild ride from London to New York, from Hollywood to Rio and the steaming jungles of the Amazon—where all their dreams and nightmares are about to come true… Lovers & Gamblers
There have been many imitators, but only ever one Jackie Collins. With millions of her books sold around the world, and thirty-one New York Times bestsellers, she is one of the world’s top-selling novelists. From glamorous Beverly Hills bedrooms to Hollywood movie studios; from glittering rock concerts to the yachts of billionaires, Jackie chronicled the scandalous lives of the rich, famous, and infamous from the inside looking out.

‘Legend is a word used too lightly for so many undeserving people, but Jackie is the very definition of the word’ Alex Khan
‘What Jackie knew how to do so well, is to tell a thumping good story’ Rowan Coleman
‘Here is a woman who not only wanted to entertain her readers, but also to teach them something; about the world and about themselves’ Isabelle Broom
‘Jackie is the queen of cliff-hangers’ Samantha Tonge
‘For all her trademark sass, there is a moralist at work here’ Louise Candlish
‘Nobody does it quite like Jackie and nobody ever will’ Sarra Manning

About the Author
Jackie Collins has been called a “raunchy moralist” by the director Louis Malle and “Hollywood’s own Marcel Proust” by Vanity Fair. With over 500 million copies of her books sold in more than forty countries, and with thirty-two New York Times bestsellers to her credit, she is one of the world’s top-selling novelists. Six of her novels have been adapted for film or TV. Collins was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) by the Queen of England in 2013 for her services to literature and charity. When accepting the honor she said to the Queen, “Not bad for a school drop-out”—a revelation capturing her belief that both passion and determination can lead to big dreams coming true. She lived in Beverly Hills where she had a front-row seat to the lives she so accurately captured in her compulsive plotlines. She was a creative force, a trailblazer for women in fiction, and in her own words “a kick-ass writer!” Her fascinating life as a writer and icon is explored in the CNN Films and Netflix documentary Lady Boss: The Jackie Collins Story.
